Our April competition was "Minimalism" and it seemed to be a tough one to get your head around for some, but regardless there were some outstanding images.
One of our favourite judges, Peter Phillips, oversaw the proceedings giving us meaningful perspective and interesting comments for each image. Its worth mentioning that some of our Judges travel quite a distance to judge at our club, Peter hails from Happy Valley, I know we all appreciate their input.
A highlight for the evening for me was some of our brand new members achieved high scores namely, Peter and Natalie Svensson and Janet Harbottle. This win will spur you to greater things and I hope some of the other new members will be inspired to submit their images.
