Amber through the Looking Glass - W Niven
I like the idea but there are too many other distractions, I would like to have seen more of amber and less of the surroundings. Zoom in to the subject and lighten her up.
Bridge over the burn - B Gillespie
This is a competent sharp image, unfortunately it is a bit flat, using curves to get a little contrast in the image would make a difference. It lacks something on the bridge to give a point of interest.
Capturing the Image - P Learmont
The Routin Bridge I suspect, a slow shutter to get the water to flow. The tripod and camera in the corner add nothing to the image. Crop the light sky out the top and get contrast into the rocks and foliage.
Across the Bay - A McNay
This image has had a treatment on it which makes it very grainy. I can detect the shore, sea and something at the other side that reminds me of Silloth. It is very black and white, I would like to have more detail visible.
Coversation over Tea - J Harkness
An interesting tea party and the one lady having contact with the photographer. The blacks are blocked, and the white flowers are distracting. Unfortunately, it is not sharp.
Crichton memorial church - B Gillespie
Good record shot of the church but it seems to lack mid tones and the sky has no detail.
Fish Shack - A McNay
The shack is interesting, If the photographer had taken the image of the shack alone it would have been a stronger image. A it is there is no focal point and the top left corner is burnt out. It needs a little contrast.
Hoopla - W Hiddleston
Action with the movement in the hoop. And the sharp figure too many distractions in the background and at the foot. I would like to have seen the eyes open.
I'm OK - J Harkness
Well seen and I like the angle it has been taken. This image needs contrast to bring out the detail in the hand.
Innocence - J Glynn
2nd Place
Lovely portrait with detail in the hair and a catchlight in the eyes. The background is a little distracting and I don’t think you need so much on the left.

Lighting The Shade - W Niven
Commended
Good idea lots of detail but do we need all 3 lit up? The centre one with the six around it would make it stronger, perhaps in a square format.
