1st Open Digital Competition (2020/21)
The 1st Open Digital competition of the season was held as an on-line Zoom session on 24th September, judged by David Gibbins ARPS APAGB EFIAP/b BPE5* from Beeston Camera Club Nottingham. He had reviewed all the entries beforehand, even going to the trouble of viewing them on different equipment to check for colour differences. His critique was well paced and provided some useful feedback such as cropping images to remove distractions and assist composition and looking carefully at the quality of images for noise and sharpness. Here are his top scoring images in each group. The featured image for this competition is Avocet Feeding by Anthony Hull, which scored 20pts in the Intermediate Group.
