Opinion of the Judges

Almost all pictures are outstanding. Jury members are unanimous in selecting the prize winning photographs. But are of the opinion that the print quality of 50 per cent of the pictures are poor. Entries regarding wildlife seems insufficient. Almost all pictures are digitally treated.
