December Comp – general comments and January 2022 reminder
December 2021 – OPEN competition results.
Last one for 2021 calendar year, phew!!!
I encourage you all to review the comments for each image, a great way to learn and gather new ideas and approaches. Think about “why’ the judge may have seen it that way and made their comments. Ponder and reflect.
REMINDER – January 2022 LOCAL WATERS – (Manning to Hawkesbury River)
Judges Overall comments from Di Schofield – Belmont 16 Footers Photographic Club
-Thank you for inviting me to judge your competition. It was not an easy task as the standard was high. It was difficult to choose the 3 placings as they were so close in standard. I would place all 3 on my lounge room wall!
Take care in end processing – watch contrast, highlights, shadows and cropping
Di Schofield
