This week saw the second part of this year’s PDI
competition. The judge, Don Morley provided plenty of robust guidance on the 60
images entered. As such, there was a bumper crop of high marks from the images
he liked… And a fair few entrants who probably went home feeling they were
robbed!
Salient points taken away from tonight can be boiled down to:
- Stop being wordy with your image titles!
- Think about using a larger aperture (smaller F number) when photographing wildlife to blur the background better
- Consider whether the image would look better portrait rather than landscape
- Leave enough space for the image to "move" within the frame - don't crop so tightly!
At level one, Kevin B emerged triumphant with his image
Dahlia, narrowly fending off David A’s Oculus:

At level two, David H’s Take Off took the winner’s slot,
