And was was further success for EHHPS members, as Amanda Wright reports:

The first and hopefully last Zoom held Championship Day is now concluded and was slightly changed from our normal format.

The three judges were Judith Parry DPAGB AFIAP HonPAGB and Roger Parry ARPS MPAGB EFIAP HonPAGB from Mid Counties Photographic Federation of which Roger is Vice President and Tim Morland ARPS from Surrey Photographic Association.

Scoring this year was between 4 -10 (max 30) instead of 2 - 5 (max 15) and instead of our seeing every image with no critique the judges were asked to each select 15 favourite images which they could then critique on in both The Championship Day PDI Competition and The Chilterns 100 Competition.

This year 20 clubs entered 221 images from their members in The Chilterns 100 and 14 clubs each entered 15 (210) images.

In the Chilterns 100

Judith Parry gave special mention to:

Amur Leopard by John Alexander which scored 23 and
Waiting by Paul Mason which scored 27 and won a PAGB Ribbon award.

Roger Parry gave special mention to:

Tim Morland gave special mention to:

The Bronze Medal went to Cell Count by Chris Drew from Woodley scoring 28
The Silver Medal went to At Rest by John Station also from Woodley scoring 28
The Gold Medal went to Coyote In The Snow by Julia Wainwright from Harrow scoring 29

In The Championship Day PDI Open Competition

The overall Best Image and Winner of the Competition was Queen of Spades by our very own Mike Lloyd scoring 29 points and agreed winner by all 3 judges who each gave a thoroughly glowing critique of this outstanding image, well done Mike, very well deserved.

One that Got Away

Rick Beresford’s entry to the Chilterns 100, Exploding Mushrooms, was unfortunately overlooked when our images were submitted to the Chilterns 100. One to watch in future competitions, and well worthy of exposure here.
