Our second competition of the season was judged by Robert Albright and featured “Open” and “People at work” subjects. At the outset the judge explained his approach to judging whereby technical aspects tended to be well handled due to the ongoing improvements in technology and the increased availability of tuition materials on the ninternet. Therefore less differentaition existed between images on a technical basis and accordingly the judge placed key emphasis on what the image communicated to the viewer.

A healthy input of prints was received with several members participating in this category for the first time which ws pleasing to see. The winning Open print was an abstract type landscape entitled ” Tintagels Portal” and an “Artist” at work won the People at work category.

As usual a strong selection of dpis were displayed and an environmental type image “Beauty Prevails” won the Open competition and “This will take a while” won the Prople at work” category
