MCCC League Competition 4 - Nature/Wildlife with Nick Berentzen CPAGB, BPE3*
Competition 5 was a theme competition. This year it was Nature/wildlife. I really looked forward to the evening as Wildlife is my favourite genre both for shooting and viewing. On the initial run through the room was filled with ooos and ahhs. Adorable creature after adorable creature filled the screen with a smattering of the beauty of nature. The night certainly did not disappoint and our judge for the evening Nick Berentzen remarked on the high quality of the images and how hard it was for him to separate them out. Nick was a real treat to have judge our images. His critique was fair and delivered with compassion and well meaning intention. Pointing authors in the direction of improvement. He set his stall out at the beginning and let us know exactly how he judges. He explained that as well as the technical elements he would be looking at the emotion and story telling. We would definitely welcome Nick back next year. Well done to everyone who took part!
