Photograph of the Year 2015

Our final internal competition for this season sets out to find the best print and the best PDI of the year when members can enter totally new images or ones previously entered during the season, with a maximum of two images in each of the two classes.  We were pleased to welcome Sid Jones as the evening’s judge who proceeded to critique and score each image, holding back some of the stronger ones to award First, Second and Third positions with a few ‘Highly Commended’ as well.

In the prints section, Sid particularly liked the creative elements presented by Jeffrey and David but the absolute precision sharpness of Val’s Red Kite in flight stole the number one spot.   In the PDIs, Sid was impressed by the two very contrasting portraits that gained second and third places but it was the sharpness of Karen’s motorcyclist coupled with the very subtle framing provided by the background through the cloud of  dust.

Congratulations to both Val and Karen for their wins, and to the runners up and highly-commended’s.  Thanks to Sid for his excellent comments and scoring and to all our members who entered images to provide us with a very enjoyable evening.

The Awards will be presented during our Prize-Giving and AGM evening in May.
