2018 / 19 Neville Jackson Image of the Year
Last night saw the final competition of the season with the Neville Jackson Image of the Year. This is an externally judged open print competition and had 48 entries. This years judge was John Lewis LRPS. from Daventry who gave some very insightful comments about the images including discussion of the various compositional elements seen in the images from leadin lines, framing, S or C curves, circles, horizons, hands, eyes, closure, foreground elements and whether these can be blurred or sharp, how they provide an impression of depth and how if they’re a strong element they can detract from the main subject, story elements
After the main scoring there were some 14 images held back which is a good indication of overall quality of the entries.
Following further deliberations this was reduced to 4
“Kelsey” by Daniel Wood
“The Scamp” by Ian Waite
These were both finally awarded 19 with the remaining 2 images getting 20
“Franz Josef” by Chantal Cooper
“Four men in a boat” by Steve Pears
With this image being given the overall win
