Our fourth and final round of competitions that scored towards the Mayor’s Cup trophies featured Open and Glass set subjects and was judged by Peter Crane from Swindon. The print entries were judged first and the interpretation of the set subject resulted in several entries based on the same idea of still life images of glass items. In some cases the old adage of “less is more” applied with simpler arrangements giving a more balanced composition and greater focus of the viewers attention.

The winning prints were “Angles” by Nigel Walkley in the Glass section and “Saxophonist” in the Open section.

A healthy number of projected images were received and the winning Glass entry was “Bottles and vase” by Jim Bullock and “Double Take” by Dave Garmont winning the Open competition.

With our Annual Competition around 6 weeks away, members still have plenty of time to compile their strongest entries in pursuit of the various silverware trophies that will be awarded.
