Winner PDI — Open (Advanced) African Stonechat female by Charlene Naude (29). An excellent
bird image that is sharp, well exposed, and well placed within the frame and shows great details in the
feathers. The gentle colours and the soft background add to the attractiveness of the image.

Winner Print — Open
(Master) Atrium Mandarin
Oriental Barcelona by Les-
ley Parolis (26). The dynamic
range of this image works
very well with its overall light
grey tones, some deep black
and a few pure white. The
processing of the image has
been well done although
in places it looks as if it has
been overcleaned or over-
painted, resulting in those
smooth and sharp lines.
