Ladies v Gents Battle
And so to the final competition of the club year, the Ladies v Gents, was judged by Pam and Eddy Lane, who gave their opinions on the 60 images presented. Images are assessed without the judges knowing which team they come from, and so at halftime, the Ladies lead was half a point, 284 out of a possible 300.
After extra biscuits at the break, the Gents very slowly got ahead to win by 6.5 points, scoring 574 out of a possible 600. Pam and Eddy gave lots of detailed critique, including hints on mono images, and the need for nature to be seen in its environment.
There were nine notable images that scored full marks of 20 out of 20, their authors are listed below:
Caroline Wright Through the Glacier
Sue Wadman Conifers at Passo Grau
Jane Wiltshire Falling Water
Tim Tapley Araniella Cucurbitina
Gerald Clarke Mum is that you
Peter Evans Western Beach Racer
Richard Jones Barn Owl
Jane Wiltshire Bearded Tit
Tony Leach Clustered Bonnets
