Weekly Competition #4 - "Flight"
The competition for this week has now closed and we await ChrisA's deliberations with keen interest. Well I've had a really tough time with this; never judged a photo competition before, and I take my hat off to those that do it regularly. I console myself with Ammonyte's genius comment a couple of...

Weekly Competition #5 - "Self Portrait"
This is HARD! :shock: :D Just to let you all know I haven't forgotten, but haven't been in from work long and am cooking tea. :roll: Will post my 'Judgement' as soon as I can, but it's tricky weighing up the pros and cons, especially the balance between the emotional and technical aspects.....

Weekly Competition #5 - "Self Portrait"
Well here goes, sorry to those that put lots of effort in and didn't win, it was, as I said, really hard to judge. Probably more so as portraits are not my favourite subject. But I wanted to pick something that I wasn't necessarily going to compare to my own efforts, and that I thought would mak...

Weekly Competition #5 - "Self Portrait"
There are a couple of other things I'm not pleased with in my shot. The two left ears are quite disconcerting. Confused me a bit there, nearly had to go back for a second look. :shock: Dan

Weekly Competition #6 "Wood"
Well here goes !!! I've tried to judge the pictures on three points, 1. Has the "Wood; theme been captured 2. Is the photograph of good quality, i.e sharp, well exposed etc. 3. Personal preference. justgetoutandride - I liked the picture, maybe do with cropping top and bottom ...

Weekly Competition #6 "Wood"
Well done all, these pictures seem to be getting better and better since the first comp. I'm a big fan of B&W, but my eyes keep going round and round looking for something to focus on, the 3 trees in the middle distance could have potential? Sorry if I made you feel dizzy Galoot! :) I have...

Weekly Competition #6 "Wood"
hi, everyone! sorry i wasn't around when this finished. I'm astounded and pleased my photo was picked! I've been unexpectedly in scotland for the last week and at a place with no internet access. I'll be going back again tomorrow for an unknown time. Just clearing my inbox etc. Glad...

Weekly Competition No 7 - "Age"
Hello, My apologies. I am on a trip, and have found it very difficult to get access to the Internet long enough to do a proper job of judging. I shall be back on Sunday, and will deliver the full judgement then. However, so as not to delay things any further, I will announce the winner now...

Weekly Competition No 7 - "Age"
:shock: Again?!? (Without sounding smug, as that's not the intention, I promise :? ) Just the thought of judging again... :roll: :D Thanks George, very nice that you could pop in to post that. Honestly didn't think I was going to win it this week, although I was obviously pleased with ...

Weekly Competition No 7 - "Age"
OK, here it is: Daniel Bridge. We would be nowhere without hands, so they make a perennially interesting subject. What makes this particular picture is the position of the hands. Clasped hands symbolise many things, usually positive - love, friendship, agreement, peace - and in this case t...

Weekly Competition No 8 - "Reflection"
Here we go, sorry for the lateness, but this judging lark takes a while... Justgetoutandride: I prefer this with the bottom 1/4 cropped off, as I don't like the look of the flower pot. Although this gives it context, presumably at the side of a pond, I prefer the abstract area, so cropping it...

Weekly Competition No 9 - "WATER"
Thank for the privilege of judging your entries it was a very hard task but has also benefited me in how to criticise my own work in future! Having a high standard of entries, I had to be a bit picky to eliminate – I hope I have not offended anyone in the process as I do not profess to know it all a...

Weekly Competition No 9 - "WATER"
Congratulations Dirk and well done Lilly! Prieni: It looks almost perfect, spot on colour, exposure, but IMHO contrived … I disliked the cherries hanging upside down, they overwhelm the water too much and makes the water appear to be glass, but clever all the same. Highly Commended I have to ...

Weekly Competition No 10 - “PEOPLE COMMUNICATION”
WEEKLY COMPETITION No 10 - “PEOPLE COMMUNICATION” Judge: Dirk Trotteyn. Date: SET-17-2007. 08:00 AM. ########## 1- Helfty1: Bravo for be the first entrant! Good interpretation of theme. I see too much out of focus area in the picture. Looks like the communication is not so easy for the women...

Weekly Competition No 10 - “PEOPLE COMMUNICATION”
Wow, thanks Dirk! And don't apologise for your english, it's perfectly understandable, which is more than I can say for my spanish! The line "The man at the back side, kissing the woman’s cheek" did make me chuckle though. :lol: Congratulations to all who entered, there were some g...
