There are more men than women in NWBCC, but the Battle of the Sexes competition was a close-run thing. The men won, helped by some excellent wildlife images from Ralph Snook. Our judge, Steph, is an artist not a photographer, which gave fresh insight into what makes a good image. As our chairman, Ray, said, we didn’t hear “the rule of thirds” or “not quite sharp” once all evening.
A number of images scored 20/20, some shown here. Ladies first, so the three upper images (In the waterfall, Petrel with wave, Waiting for lunch) are theirs. The lower images are the men’s (Reflections, Second Severn Crossing, Up with mum).
