My first competition. Quite nerve-wracking. Didn’t know what to expect, what to submit, or how to judge an image for inclusion. So just threw in the current favourites. An Open category I think gave the false impression of informality when in retrospect it means you have a broader field in which you need to stand taller.
Judge didn’t like the plain sky in Wimpole Parkrun and would have used Photoshop’s ‘Replace Sky’ function to add interest. I was disgusted at this!
Decent scores for a first attempt at submitting things I think. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself…
Judge: Penny Reeves
