After the ‘Beast from the East’ postponed the March Open Competition, the rearranged event has now happened. The judge was Peter Clark FRPS, EFIAP/p, APSA, MPSA. Peter’s comments and general advice are always worth listening to. His long list of awards is based on knowing how to get quality images across a broad variety of media.
The Intermediate competition was won by a member who is in their first year of entering competitions. He has rolled with the punches of judges and come through the rounds with determination. Well done Gordon.
