Our first contest for the 2019/20 season was held on November 21st, displaying the photographic art of our members. There were over 100 entries in 3 groups: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. The 5 Categories were At Night, People, Wildlife, Open and The Beach.
Judges for the evening were Bob Hawkins, Victor Peters and Ted Richards – thank you!
For this contest, we asked the judges to comment on every image. Makers submitted 4 images instead of 6 which allowed time for the extra comments. The change was well-received by both judges and makers. We had the opportunity to learn, not just from our own images, but from everyone else’s images.
Winning images below are sorted by category and award: Mouse Over for title and artist, Click for larger image and contest placement (1st, 2nd, etc.) and category. The number of awards per category reflect the number of entries for that category.
The image gallery displays winning images followed by a table with all scores.
