Title: Contented
Maker: Bill Barber
What animal can be more contented than a cat? The slightly off-center placement of the subject is effective. Good sharpness and a fine moment captured. A good point of view and oh! those eyes.

A dramatic shot, well-composed, with excellent sharpness and color saturation. The few people on the steps define the immensity of the memorial.

Title: Tulip Beauties
Maker: Jean Barber
I have to admit a prejudice for seeing and photographing FIELDS of flowers as we have here. It’s almost impossible to separate out one blossom, but great to see them all. Fine color saturation and exposure. For me a fun shot to look at

Title: Southwick Station
Maker: Tom Wootton
Very neatly composed with great depth-of-field, this is a fine nostalgic image of an age mostly gone by. The tracks in the foreground not only help fill the frame when dealing with a long, narrow subject, but serve as a lead-in line and also give a sense of depth as they recede into the distance. Note that only 4/10ths of a point separates these four award images
