The Final of The Federation of North-West London Photographic Societies (that's a bit of a mouthful so thankfully we affectionately call it the NWFed) was held this afternoon (Saturday 22 Feb) at Watford's Friends Meeting House, between Amersham and Pinner. The Final itself was judged by Colin Mill from Milton Keynes and the Starred images from throughout the competition were judged by Tim Morland.

We started with the 18 Final Prints. It's fair to say the standard really was incredibly high so it was a tough ask for Colin and this was reflected in the scoring where most of the way through it was neck and neck. Colin awarded 4 20's with 3 of them going to the underdogs Pinner who had never made a NWFed final before.

The eventual print score was an incredibly close

166.5 to Amersham
164 to Pinner

There were only 2 20's awarded from the 18 PDI's this time both going to Amersham.

The final PDI scores were

169 to Amersham
162 to Pinner

So combined final score was

1st place Amersham (again) 335.5
Runners up Pinner 326

Pinner did extremely well and were rightly very pleased with the result despite not winning.

Next was starred Prints of which there were 26 in total and EHHPS had Abandoned Dreams by John Clare entered. Tim held back 11 but sadly John's was not one of them. There was no scoring for this round just two Highly Commendeds and a winner and these were
