Who would have thought that our best result in Round one came in PJ, traditionally not our strongest genre. We sit in equal second place.

Congratulations to Susan, Marie and David on their well deserved awards.

That wraps up the results for the first round. The Round two comp buttons are now active on the website.

Some eagle eyed readers may notice that Marie’s image scored higher than David’s yet received an HM award and not a Merit award. In the judging process, the three judges complete their scores individually and the top total scores are then considered for the awards. It is then that the judges discuss the images and distribute the awards and that can mean that a lower scored image can be elevated to a higher award.
