1st – Rais Hasan ‘Fine Art – Ortho Building’
Judges Comments:
Tim Rudman: “I thought it was visually very striking and very unusual.”
Susan Brown: “It is a lovely, graphic image, well handled.”
Charlie Waite: “… a punchy contrast, which often we have to keep an eye on, but it seems so appropriate having it so punchy here.”
2nd – Raymond Bridges – ‘Farming Under Fells’
Judges Comments:
Tim Rudman: “…the timing with that light just hitting the rock face. I mean a moment or two earlier or later, and it would have looked entirely different…”
Susan Brown: ”Lovely scenery in near perfect conditions, the light we all wish for, well captured”
Charlie Waite: “The lighting is really, really pleasing.”
3rd – Paul Adams – ‘Enola Beach, Oregon’
Judges Comments:
Tim Rudman: “I think it holds together extremely well. It is both dynamic but peaceful at the same time.”
Susan Brown: “I feel it has retained the integrity of what we are looking at, so I really quite appreciated this one.”
Charlie Waite:” It’s jolly difficult to do a grand scene like this really with lots of things going on. I think it’s all held together terribly well.”
HC – Raymond Bridges – ‘Dawn at Monk Coniston Pier’
Judges Comments:
Tim Rudman: “I think it has been extremely well handled.”
Susan Brown: “…a very popular subject, but I think it is one that has been done well.”
Charlie Waite:” Unusual colouring and it doesn’t look to me like it’s been enhanced in any way, so I believe it.”
