Results:
Winner – printed section – Yvette Kraak with her image ‘Dahlia’. Joint second place went to Michelle Brooks with her image entitled ‘Chrysanthemum’ and Jackie Sellers with ‘In the Shadows”.
Winner – digital section – Jackie Sellers with her image ‘Loaded’. Joint second place went to Wendy Beasley with ‘Cosmic Cosmos, Peter Edge with ‘Bluebell Wood’ and Alan Griffiths with ‘Cyanotype.
