Our first competition of the season featured both “Open” and “Animal Kingdom” images and was judged by Simon Caplan from Bristol Photographic Society. A modest number of prints were submitted and the Club is making a concerted effort to encourage more members to participate in print submissions.

The winning Open image was ‘Dragonfly’ which could equally have been entered into the other competition as insects form part of the animal kindom. The winning Animal Kingdom print was ‘The eyes have it”

A healthy number of dpis were submitted and the Open category winner was ‘Mother Love’, a touching capture of a mongoose with her pup, and ‘Sandpiper and crab’ won the Animal Kingdom category.

The judge provided comprehemsive critiques on all the imges along with many suggestions to consider.
