COMPETITION NIGHT
Our PDI set subject competition for this season was ‘STRIPES’ and it was John A Hudson ARPS DPAGB SPSA ASPS who took on the task of judging the 51 images entered.
John, who has been judging for about 3 years and is a member of Bristol Photographic Society, made his first visit to us over our now normal Zoom meeting and began by telling us a little about himself. Before he started the judging, he did make a comment that on the whole, the decisions made by judges were of an entirely personal choice and he hoped that no one would take any of his comments to heart. He merely made suggestions to the author as to how he felt an image could be improved.
John took his time over commenting on each image which gave us, as members, the opportunity to study each photograph in great detail.
Apart from the top three images the scoring was close but the winning photographs were definitely worthy of the top marks given to them.
First Place – Joan Scott – Stripes reflected
Second Place – Elizabeth Restall ARPS – From Red to Orange
Third Place – Steve Stone – Through the Blinds
