nice, you should look into the national geographic photo contest (if your into wildlife photography) its always fun to enter and it can give you some great ideas for future photographs. Also check out www.oneeyeland.com. They have some amazing photos that have given me some great ideas over the years!
I enjoy doing it anyway. At least your photo gets a bit more notice... even if its not that much, its something!
Another way to give your photos more exposure is get a flickr account and post your photos in different groups. You would be suprised how many people will comment on them!
