Over 200 entries were judged in this years competition from 15 entrants. The care taken having found a good subject was very apparent in many of the photographs. All in all this made for a difficult task in choosing just one in each category. Below are judged to be the best in each of six categories.

Of all 204 photgraphs viewed this one stood out above the rest.
It is not perfect, arguably the boat could have been allowed to pass before taking the shutter and the horizon is slghly out but both these problems could easily be fixed in the computer.

A beautiful sunset coupled with the elephant on the horizon set this abve the other entries. This is an example of a photograph that had to be taken at the just right moment.

The simple use of a piece of cloth which has the effect of framing the subjects eyes has made this picture stand out from the other considered.

Always a difficult category because it involves comparing chalk with cheese. When your in the right place and at the right time why not take a photograph.  The bird would not have stayed for long so our photographer made the most of the opportunity.

46 photographs submitted had no specific category assigned to them. Rather that arbitarily assign them I have kept them separate. This would have been a worthy contender for the architechure category. The subject is clear wthout any distracting cllutter such people in the water nearby and attention has been paid to getting the verticals correct. I noted in many photgraphs were spoiled because not enough attention had been paid to keeping the horizon horizontal.
