February 2022 – Portraits

Judge: Steve Goldsmith

It has been a pleasure to be asked to judge for the Camera Club, the standards are high, and hopefully my observations and comments will be received as constructive. It is worth saying we all see different things in photographs, part of what makes us very individual and my comments are purely my views.

I have commented on all photographs in the experienced section, but sadly ran out of time to do the same for the other sections, but believe me it was not because I give them less consideration.

Intermediate

Experienced

This has been such a hard section to judge as there is quality in every entry and all the photographs are strong contenders, I would like to say there are all worthy of commendation, but select I must, so I have reviewed all ending in my personal favourites and given the reasons why.

Overall winner, think I will take a pass on that, there is just so much quality across the three categories, but I would go back to one of my early comment that we all learn from each other, so guys talk to each other and, share ideas as this is what makes a good club a great club.
