What Do Judges Look for in an Image?

Our Chairman's night is a little different this year - Sue Porter presented Ed Cloutman EFIAP, Hon.FWPF in a very interactive session. Ed explained that there are criteria which judges should follow in awarding marks but, of course, these are subjective. Ed gave many good and bad examples to illustrate his talk. The talk was followed by a lively session in which various members gave their own opinions. There was much discussion about "Camera Club Photography" and "Academic Photography" with their different goals.
