Entry No 1
Mike Brindle LRPS
Good idea but consider cloning out instrument at right shoulder, highlight on page is a little burned out
Entry No 2
John Bull LRPS
Consider cropping out some of the "dead area" maybe to base of pillars. Illustrates place and theme well.
Entry No 3
John Bull LRPS
At first glance lovely image but on my screen nothing is sharp. It needs to be. Consider cropping tighter and losing 3 right candles at top and 1 left at base. If this had been sharp it would possibly have won
Entry No 4
Vanessa Shipp
Typical shot, photographer has brought little to the game. Desperately needs a sky.

Entry No 5
Vanessa Shipp
Too much water, if it is a shot of the reflection of tree, consider portrait mode
Entry No 6
Stella Change
Technically very good, could lose trace of green right at top of image it is distracting. There is always an issue of photographing some else's creation
Entry No 7
Peter Chance LRPS
Technically O.K. but the author has missed the real photograph. Too much foreground, not enough wall
Entry No 8
Peter Chance LRPS
Competent image but is the building vertical. Do you need to see house on left, Could do with more detail in sky

Entry No 9
Bryan Bradley
Never guess when judging but this looks unnatural, the shadows do not look right, Impression is that this has been manipulated. My apologies if I am wrong.
Entry No 10
Bryan Bradley
Competent, the inclusion of the parasols and people add a sense of place and time, probably best of cathedral shots.
Entry No 11 - "3rd place"
Jeff Smith - 3rd place
Well that is different, Could "lose the cars" especially the blue, and perhaps there is too many buildings behind cathedral. However super image well deserving of 3rd place
Entry No 12
Jeff Smith
At last a reasonable sky, but the composition is not as good as Image 10.

Entry No 13
Mike Brindle LRPS
Why this particular crop? If tower is to be in photograph, we surely need to see all of it. There is an interesting shot using lamp and shadow.
Entry No 14
Tony Luxton LRPS
An interesting idea, however the photograph is cluttered without a real centre of interest.
Entry No 15
Tony Luxton LRPS
I find it hard to understand this image, while I am sure it pleases the author, it is not interesting to me. Whatever else there needs to be detail in sky
Entry No 16
John Nockolds
Why this particular image? If it is a picture of the boot it is too small' if it includes boot.... A thought would have been to put boot on yellow lines and photograph solely that

Entry No 17
Michael Myers
Another interesting idea which doesn't quite come off. What is it the author is trying to say?
Entry No 18 - "1st place"
Michael Myers - First place
Fine composition, well executed. Made by the faces in the doorways, Good control of exposure, it must have been difficult to prevent windows burning out. Well done 1st place
Entry No 19 - "Best of Rest"
John Barrett LRPS - Best of Rest
Technically superb, wonderful control of depth of field. The very close crop at the top of the image weakens the overall effect. Best of rest.
Entry No 20
John Barrett LRPS
Interestingly this is done to death, and one needs to think more about it, to bring something new to the image. Technically fine but...

Entry No 21
Jason Curtis
Another pleasing image, but a tighter crop would have given more impact
Entry No 22 - 2nd place
Jason Curtis
A super image, technically very good. I would like to have seen the top corners of the panel to give it space, however 2nd place.
