The fifth internal club competition of the 2022-23 season took place on Wednesday 8 March.

This was an “open” competition for both prints and digital images.

As usual, entries covered an intriguing variety of subjects, approaches, and styles – including landscapes, seascapes, sunsets, silhouettes, portraits, travel, architecture, sport, candid/street, wildlife, still life, impressionist, colour, monochrome, and more.

Our independent judge for the competition was Lloyd Moore DPAGB BPE4* who has visited us on numerous occasions.  Lloyd is a member and Past-President of the Watford Camera Club and a very experienced CACC judge.

Each entry was marked out of 20.  Marks from this competition count towards the season’s Print and Digital Image Championships (Sections One and Two).

(Again, there were no Section Two Prints.)

The top performers were as follows:
