The latest open competition brought a fantastic array of images from our talented members, judged expertly by the experienced Leigh Preston. We were thrilled once again to see the creativity and skill on display.

Leslie Holmes continued her winning streak with another stunning set of submissions, showcasing her keen eye and technical excellence taking first place in the digital section with her Masaai Warriors utilising the skill of intentional camera movement (ICM). Kerrin Malone also impressed the judge with his striking image of the window blinds at Dyrham Park, a true testament to his ability to see the extraordinary in the everyday – beautifully printed to take first place in the print section.
