Tuesday 3 March DPI competition. Theme Macro and Close Up.

This evening we welcomed Wayne Davey to judge the macro and close up competition. The standard of entries were very high.  Wayne's first comment was that the club was making his job difficult.

He was very positive about every image: highlighting the strengths; commenting on the composition such as leading lines going from left to right; the lighting; and cropping the the image to suit the subject. He praised individuals for their creativity and being different.

Feedback for improvement included helpful suggestions like increasing the shadows and possibly reducing the highlights.  His scoring reflected the comments he made.

He held back several images in both the members and the advance group.  These received scores between 18 -20 points

Here are the top scoring images.
