On Thursday 3rd December it was all to play for in the final round of the NWFed. EHHPS were trailing Watford by 9 points, a not impossible sum to catch up on. Sadly however, it wasn’t to be. The judge Paul Burwood had a tricky task with the quality of images presented and whilst he clarified that he would be looking for creativity, once again it was Natural History that came out on top.

Six 20’s were awarded across the whole competition, (4 were fauna, 2 were flora) unfortunately though EHHPS didn’t manage a 20 or a star in this round and only one 19 came our way. Well done Paul Mason with Waiting.

Total scores for the round were:

PRINTS

EHHPS 88
Pinner 89
Watford 93

PDI’s

EHHPS 88
Pinner 94
Watford 94

TOTALS (for this round)

3rd EHHPS 176
2nd Pinner 183
1st Watford 187

The totals then for the 3 rounds combined:

3rd Pinner 562
2nd EHHPS 570
1st Watford 590

We wish Watford well in the Semi Finals.

Across the competition EHHPS was awarded 4 stars so these images will have a second chance and compete against all the other starred images in the competition.
