Watford hosted the second round of the NWFed last night (19 November), judged by a slightly nervous Stephen Galvin as it was his first time judging a NWFed event. He rose to the challenge well though, highlighting at the end just how tricky it is to judge a competition where all the images are specifically chosen for their technical and creative merit. He made several comments on the importance of a good title too and how it drew the viewers attention to the message the author was conveying.

It was a close run thing in the Print section and Jenny Fenton’s Storm Dennis was awarded 20 and one of the two allocated stars. Karina Limburg also scored highly with 19 for No Tissue, No Problem.

Print (PDI) Scores were

Pinner 82
EHHPS 89
Watford 92

PDI Scores were even closer with only 1 point separating us all.

Ealing was awarded two 20’s and both allocated stars this time so very well done to Kristin Mason with Statuesque and Mike Lloyd’s Queen Of Spades which was also Stephen’s image of the night!

Pinner 87
EHHPS 88
Watford 89

So totals for round 2

Pinner 169
EHHPS 177
Watford 181

The running total for the two rounds to date stands at:

Pinner 379
EHHPS 394
Watford 403

It all hinges on the final round - it's not over yet for Ealing.
