Print Competition (5) 5th May 2009

These images are taken (with the consent of the authors) from the digital equivalent of high scoring entries in the print image competition. They have been rescaled on backgrounds which simulate the mounts used for the actual prints, but are otherwise as far as possible unchanged. There were 58 print entries in total.

Scores are awarded by the judge out of a maximum of 20. Titles are not disclosed during the judging. The 'development' class is intended for those members who are actively developing their skills in competition photography.

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.
