The theme for this digital competition was ‘Red, white and blue’. The judge was Laura Pearce from Yeovil. Laura gave a detailed and helpful critique of our images showing that she had looked at them very carefully. She applauded the theme title as a good topic for a photo competition offering scope for creativity. She also made an important point about looking out for dust spots in final images and to go back after a couple of days to review images when things you may have missed became more obvious.
