Please be aware that there are technical difficulties in the precise matching of image presentations across different computer platforms, between projected images on screen and equivalent prints, and then in these web-based versions. Most of these issues have been resolved, but there may be small differences between what you see here and what members saw 'live' on the evening of the competition.
