On Monday 26th September we welcomed Geoff Reader DPAGB BPE3*, to judge our first Open Print Competition of this season. There was a good entry from in both the Advanced and Intermediate groups with most genres being represented. Our members were very complimentary and impressed with Geoff’s critique. Every image was carefully and thoughtfully judged with many hints and tips to improve the work. Geoff’s attention to detail was exemplary.
The standard of photography was very high, which made for a difficult task to separate the top images.
