This week we held the Chris Crane Cup an annual event in memory of Chris.
This year’s judge was Joe Sheridan (F.D.A. BA (Hons) ARPS) from Washington. Joe started out by saying how difficult a task he had this year as the standard of images from our members was so high. In a change to the usual format Joe started off his comments/critique in his own humorous and jovial manner. With very positive things to say about all the images. The format change came as he announced 5 highly commended and the top five images at the end. The winning image being an excellent mirror reflection of a beached fishing boat, “Not a Reflection” by Bill Leadbitter.
