“Open / Natural History Competition” (Print)

Continuing our third competition of the season “Open / Natural History Competition” (Print/PDI). After a short break, in the second half David started to judge the Intermediate and Advanced Print entries and again gave some good critique. The standard of photography was very high, which made for a difficult task to separate the top images in each group, he did say it was not an easy night for him and he did tell all the members he really enjoyed looking at all the images we entered on tonight’s competition. Thank you to Steven for organising the competition with such a large number of entries.

Congratulations to Richard Bryant with his image ” Vapourer moth” – Nature Image of the Year
