Winner PDI – Open (Intermediate) Ellie grass and sky by Tony Edmunds (24). A great shot
with the elephant looking straight at you. It shows a fair amount of sky and background to give
the main subject the necessary space around it. I suggest cleaning up some of the white spots
on the skin, which are distracting.

The Marievale Cutie by Tom Gosh (21).
The bird is well placed on the left to
give enough space for it to look or fly
into. The direction of the light was,
however, not ideal as there are no
details in the blacks. This could be
rectified to a certain extent in post-
production.

Winner PDI – Open (Beginner)
The delicate dandelion by Rainer
Clauss (21). The whites are well han-
dled but the green foliage colour in
the background is too strong and so
is the prominence of the arched grass
blade. Moving the position or chang-
ing the angle of the camera could
have shifted the entire focus on the
dandelion and improved the image.
