3rd PDI Merit Competition – Judge Steven Le Prevost FRPS (click here for Steven’s website)

We were pleased to welcome Steven Le Prevost FRPS to judge our 3rd (and final) PDI Merit competition of the season. Steven lives on the Channel Island of Guernsey and is an accredited Southern Photographic Federation Judge.

As this was a Merit competition the images were submitted under three categories of photographer – Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. We had a total of 67 entries for the competition: 21 Beginners; 19 Intermediate and 27 Advanced. We had 33 attendees in total, including Steven. Whilst there were a good number of entries Steven gave constructive feedback on every image, in every class.

Following the judging, Steven selected his Winner from each Group (see below). His ‘Best in Competition’ went to Jackie Tourle with “Ice Roses”. We are grateful to Steven for his input and for all of the constructive feedback he gave.

The winners from each group category were:

Beginners – Daniel Sawyer “The Cleaner”

Intermediate – Howard Gibbs “Galleries Lafayette”

Advanced – Jackie Tourle “Ice Roses”

All of the entries can be seen in the Gallery

Congratulations to Jackie and each of the category winners, and to all of our members for entering such a strong and creative collection of images.

Our very grateful thanks go to Steven for his excellent judging, comments and critique of all the images and we would also like to send a very big thank you to all our members for continuing to support our club.
