Theme Competition July 2022, "Reflections"
Out third theme competition of the year was held on 28 July, and we welcomed our guest judge Diana Magor. Diana is an international judge, and past president of Hoylake Photographic Society.
She had a look at the prints just prior to the start of the evening, and sorted them in an order that meant the lower scoring prints were displayed first and the potentially better prints followed on.
After a run through, Diana gave her constructive comments and held some back. She was ultimately left with three prints, and awarded the full 20 points to “1 O’clock” by Pete Corser.

After the break the PDI were shown, and Diane again gave very helpful comments and opinions on each of them. The full 20 points was given to “Dawn Reflections” by David Hawkins.

We thank Diana for all her comments and scores, and our congratulations go to the winners.

There were 26 images in the Advanced section, and Alf held back nine of them. After much deliberation Alf was unable to separate two images, so awarded them both the full 20 points. They were “James Budge Iron Man UK 2022” by Phil Durkin and “Evening In the Red Desert, Dubai” by Judy Bell.
