The judge for the first digital image competition of the season at Motherwell Photographic Society was Susan Spence from Eastwood Photographic Society.

Susan is a new qualified judge and this was her first time judging a competition.

There were 29 digital images in the competition. Susan gave feedback on each image and explained how she thought each one could be improved.

She commented on the composition, light, sharpness, clarity and contrast of the images before awarding each a score out of 20.

Her top image of the evening, scoring 20 out of 20, was Permission to Land by Linda Greenhill.

The Jersey Pullers by Dominic Smith was second with 19 points. In joint third place, with 18 points, was Coo in the Park by Ashley Hanlon, Puffins by Rodger Shearer and Suilven from Loch Druim also by Rodger Shearer.

Club Vice-President Rodger Shearer thanked the members for their submissions. Rodger thanked Susan for taking the time to judge our images and for providing critique without criticism.
