Open / Natural History Competition” (Print/PDI)

On Monday 24th November for our third competition of the season “Open / Natural History Competition” (Print/PDI).  The judge for the night was David Kissman. David had a challenging night with over 90 images in total and it was not an easy task for him with it being a good strong entry from the Intermediate and Advanced groups. It was clear that he was going to have a difficult task separating out the best images in each section.

David started the evening commenting on the DPI images for the Intermediate group first and holding back some images for the awards, before moving onto the Advanced images.

 He gave some very good critique on the night for our members to take on board and learn from his comments
