There are literally hundreds of photography websites out there, some great one's and some mediocre one's, so I'm recommending a couple here that I visit on a regular basis because they are very informative, entertaining and may even help you improve your photography.
First up is The Mindful Eye. Until recently this was the Radiant Vista which is run by professional photographer and teacher Craig Tanner.
Craig is an outstanding photographer who really has a passion for teaching and photography in general. This site is really about helping photographers improve their craft for amateurs and pros alike.
The site offers a daily critique where you can send in an image and if you are lucky, Craig will post a video of him analyzing and then editing your shot in Photoshop. These videos offer great insight into how a professional photographer can see the final shot before editing and then the work flow involved in getting the shot there. This is an invaluable source of information if you are struggling with editing in Photoshop or any other image editing software.
There is also a large community forum where the users actively encourage each other and offer positive criticism and help on all aspects of their photography.
The second site I visit regularly is by photographer John Beardsworth. John is one of my favourite black and white photographers and has an excellent book available on the subject which I highly recommend.
His site offers a very entertaining blog which covers a wide variety of subjects including Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, color and monochrome photography, DAM, the visual arts and even computing tips.
Many of John's black and white images are also available to view on the site and I would highly recommend that you take a look.
