Our final print competitions of our 23/24 season were judged by Martin Patten, Watford Camera Club.  Martin’s judging is always erudite and his critiques are always kindly delivered.

In the Open competition congratulations go to Judy Buckley-Sharp for her ‘Pink Umbrella’, second place went to YC Wei for ‘The Bund, Shanghai’ and he also claimed third place with ‘Blooming Azaleas’.    Highly commended were Godfrey Dyan’s ‘Badge Man Morris’ and Mark Buckley-Sharp’s ‘Lines 4’;  Mark’s ‘Canal Fantasy and Avril Candler’s ‘Great Tit Ready for Takeoff’ were commended.

Triptych Trophy Winner by YC Wei

Many thanks to everyone who made prints throughout the season and to everyone who supported the events.    It is probably no surprise to anyone that we can announce that YC Wei has won the monthly (Open) print competitions.  Congratulations YC!

Once again, many thanks to Martin Patten for his informative and entertaining judging;
