This was the fifth of our six bi-monthly member competitions and this month it was on the theme of “SKYLINE”. Normally our members are encouraged to submit 2 prints and 2 digital images in an open format. However due to the logistical problems of collecting and delivering prints during this ‘Covid-19’ period, this bi-monthly competition was for digital entries only. Our judge for this 5th. Bi-Monthly competition was David Sage. Unfortunately David wasn’t able to join us in person, but he sent copious notes that we studied during our virtual meeting using the Video Conferencing facility Zoom.
David reviewed and commented on 54 digital images and 35 members joined the video call to view the digital entries and to consider David’s feedback and critique.
Below is a Table of the Top 8 Digital Images and their authors.
