1st Print Competition - great to see the first set of mounted images on show again!

Our first print competition of the season was judged by June Sharp who gave an in-depth and constructive critique of all the images, with some humour in places. There were 57 images entered from both groups and once again showed the diversity of approach and the skills of our club members. It was great to see these photographs in mounts displaying their full glory. Very well done to those that put in prints as we all know how troublesome this can sometimes be!
