Tuesday 22 October - Round 1 Digital competition (Open)

This was the first competition of the season and we kicked off with a Digital Open competition tonight which was very well supported.  There were 24 entries in the Members class and 54 in Members Advanced.  We welcomed back EAF judge Andy Swain from Norwich who had the tricky task of assessing and scoring the 78 images.  Early on he paused to check that he was judging the Members class as the standard was so good!

Andy was generous with his 20s awarding four in Members class and nine in Members Advanced.  Other images would have got higher marks if only we'd checked more carefully for distractions in the backgrounds or around the edges.

You can see the high scoring images below.
