Axminster Photography Group once again held its annual competition -  the Thirkettle Cup -  for members only by Zoom.

The judge from Birmingham, Kylie Martin, had a most difficult task in selecting the three images from a total of 51 entries which she undertook very professionally with some excellent feedback on every photograph. The three photographs that filled the top three places were :

1st and winner of the Thirkettle Cup - Chase Jump taken by Brian Prior

Feedback from the judge on the image: An excellent action shot, the flying debris highlighting the motion and the low position of the photographer shooting to maximise both overall composition and impact.

2nd  Differing Styles by Julian Shaw

Kylie complemented the photographer on his patience in waiting for the right moment for the right person to walk through the frame and the mirror image reflecting the old and new styles.

3rd Exeter Moonscape by Brian Prior

The favourable feedback was the very effective use of Mono and Colour giving the photograph excellent impact, fine detail throughout and good overall balance.

Two excellent images from Brian and a very keenly contested second place from Julian.
