The 1st Open PDI competition of the season was judged on 24th September by Steve Hitchen (EPAGB, AFIAP, BPE5*) from Atherton & District PS. With 86 images to judge, it was quite a long night, and although scoring was reasonably high and a number were held back, only a small number achieved top marks.
