Tuesday 7th April. Print Competition Nature and Wildlife. Judge Penny Reeves

 On Tuesday evening we welcomed Penny Reeves to judge our final print competition of the season.

The category was nature and wildlife giving members plenty of scope.

Penny complemented the club on the high standard of the images that were entered. She explained that she was judging the prints in front of her and not the digital image projected on the screen as there are sometimes differences between the two.

Her comments were fair and helpful such as using a slightly gloss paper to enhance reflections.  She also pointed out that she would be very picky when judging the advance group because of the very high standard.

She held back two images in the members group and eight in the advance.

Here are the top scoring images in the members group:
