Staffs 8-Way Digital Image Competition

Text by Phil Satchell

It was a great competition with Peter Cheetham APAGB judging. His comments were spot on and he missed nothing, pointing out the overlooked and obvious distractions within the images. He also gave a valuable insight into composition. At half time we were in top place, having gained great marks in each of the rounds. It was tight right to the end where we lost first place by one mark. The best image went to Cannock's "Sea eagle take-off" getting the only 20 points. There were 3 images awarded 19 points Leek's "Misty Morning at Rudyard", Cannock's "Sensuous Dunes" and Tamworth's "Gannet Pair".

Overall there were a good number of natural history images, which were all of stunning quality. We entered a well balanced collection of images, all being awarded good marks.

Tamworth's entry and the overall results are below:
