2nd Open Print Competition (2024/25)
The 2nd Open Print competition of the season was judged on 9th January by Nick Berentzen (CPAGB, BPE3) from South Manchester Camera Club. Nick worked his way steadily through the images providing mostly positive comments. He stated that he thought the standards were high, resulting in a large number of images being held back, which then required some adjustment of scores to separate the images.
The top scoring images are listed below.
