The results of the December 2017 monthly competition were announced at our weekly meeting on 8th January. The theme for the competition was “Beauty in Ugly”, with each entrant submitting 4 entries.

The competition was judged by Geraldine Dorgan of Fermoy Camera Club and Kieran O'Mahoney of Blackwater Photographic Society, who provided excellent critique and feedback on the entries. Many thanks to Geraldine and Kieran for their contribution.

Many thanks also, as always, to Viv and Lisa for all the effort in organising and administering the competition.
