The 2nd Open PDI competition of the season was judged on 11th December by Miles Turnbull (CPAGB, BPE1) from Warrington Photographic Society. There were 87 images to judge on the night and Miles reviewed them all at a good pace with a lot of good humour throughout. He picked up particularly in small elements that introduced distractions that could easily be cloned or cropped out.
