The results of the second round of our monthly league competition were announced at our weekly meeting on Tuesday, 28th October. The theme for this round was “Open”, with each participant submitting three digital entries.

Our judge for the evening was Martin Patten, a professional photographer and highly experienced photographic judge from the UK. Martin did an excellent job assessing the entries, offering detailed and constructive feedback on every image. In a generous gesture, he kindly waived his judging fee and asked that it be donated to a prostate cancer charity.

A big thank you to Martin for his time and expertise.
