2 Golds and a Highly Commended

As many of you know I regularly enter the Societies monthly image competition. It is through this that I have earned 4 Photographer of the Year titles over the past 2 years. Each month we can submit one image per category. The images awarded gold get put through to the annual competition where the Photographer of the Year is decided.

So this month from over 1200 images just 33 were given a gold. The following 2 images are my images that received a gold.

The highly commended images are given a second chance at being judged later on in the year and some of these images are then upgraded to gold. These also stand a chance at winning an annual award. Last year my Baby Photographer of the Year came from just such an image.

And this image, which I nearly didn’t enter because to be honest I’m not so sure it is worthy of a gold, this time received a highly commended. I’m happy with this and think its a fair score. This image was shot during a live demo at the Photography Show in Birmingham on the Bowen’s stage. So I’m really quite pleased that something shot under those circumstances could do so well.
