| Member No. | Image Title | Judge's Notes | Score | 1st, 2nd, 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 66 | The Gate to winter | Fairytail scheme; well created melancholy; good texture and beautiful details; nice contrast; intriguing background; simple, but effective | 20 | 1 |
| 23 | Leslie | Lots of lovely details; well defined face; grizzled nature of his beard contrasts nicely with the fur of his hat; nice contrasting portrait | 20 | 2 |
| 66 | Entrance to The Lighthouse | Nice perspective; parallel walls converge at the entrance, leading to a lighthouse; complementing sky & interesting pattern on the foreground | 20 | 3 |
| 29 | Hi Key on car | Interesting portrait; well defined reflection; flat background goes well with the glossy surface of the car; flat hands-need to show/display fingers | 19 | |
| 13 | Loch Maree | Nice landscape shot, but lacking interest at first but then seeing beautiful reflections; burst of cloud on the foreground distracts rather than reinforces the image; good contrast though | 18 | |
| 13 | Tied Up | Well seen; busy, but not too busy; nice texture with well defined lines and lichens; focus still maintained on a rather complicated knot | 18 | |
| 51 | Tiree Tombstones | Interesting perspective; nice contrasts; complementing sky, but too much of an empty foreground | 18 | |
| 29 | Taking a walk | Nice façade with interesting shapes, but not too distracting; good space to walk into in front of the walker; good contrast, but light patches distractive | 18 | |
| 23 | Bridge to the Kingdom | Nice perspective with the bridge looking like white sails of the boat; lacking contrast though with the foreground far too dark | 18 | |
| 37 | Campus | Nice line leading to the main object; sky complements the picture, but the shot is too dark; human element would help the image | 17 | |
| 51 | Salon a la Mode | Quaint; nice details; shot should probably be taken from a lower level as we are looking down on it; one wonders where is Doris and Joan | 17 | |
| 28 | Misty Loch | Well defined main object not necessary the loch; nice contrast between main object and the misty background; atmospheric and contemplative | 17 | |
| 37 | Cromarty | Moody picture; the wall leads to the main object & your eyes are drawn to the oil rigs; too much of the empty foreground though & flat sky; | 17 | |
| 15 | Slioch | Nice landscape scene; interesting foreground with contrasting main object in the background; flat sky though and out of focus/small format | 16 | |
| 28 | Southerness | Well caught drama of the breaking waves; nice details on the lighhouse, but the sky washed out leting down the overal image | 16 | |
| 10 | old churchyard hut | Lots of nice details, but the hut is too framed by the surrounding trees; wall on the right is distracting-cropping would help to improve the image | 16 | |
| 15 | Crested Tit | Good composition, but not sure about the background; looks like a staged scene; lack of sharpness is the main let-down | 16 | |
| 16 | Entrance to Cáceres | Interesting geometrical lines: curve of the arch, columns, steps; too busy though; lacking the main focus as your mind wonders all over the picture | 16 | |
| 2 | Time to go home | Well caught action scene, but lacking contrast; flat sky; more space in front of the boatman would improve the image | 16 | |
| 16 | In need of paint | Indeed! Nice angle, but not enough impact/interest; detailed white wall contrasts well with the rest of the frames; | 15 | |
| 10 | old tree stump | Detailed stump of a tree, but lacking contrast; too busy; wall on the left distructs from the main object of interest | 14 | |
| 2 | Artistic junk | Good title; a line of objects leading to a gap; clutter-too many elements; a lot of distractions on the wall/window | 14 |
