How Pudsey got on
We finished level with Bingley on 84 points. Our highest score of the night went to Jane Tyrer’s “Mayfly with Exuvia” with 19. Larry Walker followed with “Mia” (18) in the portrait theme and “Treacherous Coastline” (17) in the set subject, and Stuart Allen’s “Despair” and Kirsty McLeod’s “Whitethroat” both scored 15.
Three images across the night earned a top score of 20: “Castle in the Storm” by Graeme Mitchell (Bradford), “Airship Parking Dispute” by Mark Robinson (Ilkley) and “Brew Time” by Howard Tate (Pontefract).
Best of the 20s: congratulations Stuart
Round 1 also saw the announcement of last season’s Best of the 20s. We’re delighted to say it went to our own Stuart Allen for “No Entry”. Well done, Stuart!
What’s next
Round 2 is on Tuesday 24th November at Leeds Photographic Society’s base in Roundhay, with the set subject “Towards Infinity” and the Travel theme. Good luck to everyone preparing entries.
