Photographer of the year, competition 3- open competition. Judged by Paul Dunmall a regular visitor to the cub along with his wife Sonia. Paul's judging is always a pleasure to listen to. He uses lots of humour and as well as giving tips on how a shot can be improved, he gives multiple positives about the image. This is fabulous quality and putting your art in front of someone else to critique can be a scary experience. I say this often, but I really would not have liked to be in Paul's shoes as the quality of the images was fantastic. The scores over all were a big improvement on the last round which shows everyone is improving. It will be interesting to see how the year pans out.
