Wainwright Society Photographic Competition 2016
18/02/17
I was delighted that 'First Snow' was commended by Derry Brabbs who once again judged the Wainwright Society Photographic Competition. I have long admired Derry's work and so his generous comments (below) are all the more pleasing.
This is what Derry said about my image:
"I chose this image as being worthy of a 'mention in dispatches' because it is a great example of the benefits of using a vertical format for landscape to create added depth to a photograph. I love the way that Derwentwater snakes around the promontory of land and although the bottom right foreground is a bit dark, there is still enough detail there to make it work. The colour, framing and atmosphere are excellent."
