Photograph of the Year 2014

Our Photograph of the Year competition is the final competition of our season where we ask an invited judge to select the best Print and the best PDI.  The entries can be new images or ones previously entered during the season and each member may enter up to two images in each of the classes.

This year we were pleased to welcome Norman Carey once again as our judge.  In the Prints, Norman only awarded one ten so congratulations go to David Lampard for the second year running.  In the PDI’s David scored another 10 but with David Townley and Val Saxby also scoring 10’s, he didn’t quite make it a double, so congratulations to David Townley for his Kaffir Lily.

Many thanks to Norman for his insights and comments, and also to David T and Brian T for running the Print and PDI competitions.
