| Member No. | Image Title | Judge's Notes | Score | 1st, 2nd, 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | Glen Affric dusted in snow | Striking landscape; good contrast between the darker foreground and snowy mountains; reflections in the water and layed clouds complement the scene; well composed | 20 | 1 |
| 29 | Early winter at Loch Clair | Well composed; stones in the foreground, the snow-topped mountains in the background, the dramatic sky & vibrant colours - this image has everything, filling the frame nicely | 20 | 2 |
| 16 | Neighbours | Interesting take on the murals; well executed & cropped; lots of details; the woman's eyes facing the man give the sense of connection; they stand out well against dilapidated walls | 20 | 3 |
| 13 | Morning Mist Bealach na Ba | Beautiful shot of the layers of mountains; serene; stream in the middle lead on to the middle of the picture & the main interest; details in the foreground; light patch overexposed | 20 | |
| 23 | Looking to the future | Clever, well composed image; vibrant display of light with glass object in the middle; circles of light give impression of movement and vibrancy; black background reinforces the drama | 20 | |
| 66 | South Stack Lighthouse | Well composed; sweeping coastline and foreground rocks lead nicely to the lighthouse in the centre; ship on the horison adds extra interest; nice colours and light. | 19 | |
| 10 | having a chat | It conveys calmness, tranquility & peace; the man facing the woman gives a sense of involvement & connection; the gull adds extra interest; colours complement the mood | 19 | |
| 66 | Tree | Striking tree; well framed; vibrant colours, but grey sky indicates that the colours were saturated, with good effect though; broch distracts but not too much | 19 | |
| 37 | Coastal dreams | Nice calm image; mood reinforced by the reflection and muted colours; the horizon cuts through the middle of the picture | 19 | |
| 23 | Full house | Well composed; good exposure in difficult conditions: a mixture of deep shades & bright lights; blue, white & red lights on the ceiling complement the French flag on the pitch. | 19 | |
| 19 | Traigh Mhor, Barra | Tranquil, idyllic, well composed scene; your eye is led by the boat in the foreground, to the house along the bay, and onwards to the island; good colours & complementary sky | 19 | |
| 13 | Trapped Pebbles | Layers of stones & old planks of wood at an angle; nice pattern of the rings on the wood contrasts well with much calmer stones; well seen & executed | 19 | |
| 15 | Ring of Brodga | Idyllic sunset scene with silhouettes of Brodgar stones; great timing to get the flock of flying geese above; well composed & framed, but small size lowers the quality | 18 | |
| 19 | Traigh Bhalaigh, N.Uist | Nice scene of a colouful coastline with a superb beach, but too much space is taken by the empty sky; interest is in the hut and the washing line only | 18 | |
| 51 | The Eyes Have It | Striking portrait with good eye contact; strong lighting and colours; distracting camera stripe though; interest is in the hair so they should not be cropped, but shown in full | 18 | |
| 37 | Pink house | Atmospheric image with sky and the light creating a somber mood; landscape cut into half though; cropping the foreground will get rid of excessive empty space | 18 | |
| 51 | Highland Creels | Colourful, busy, full of patterns and structures image; well composed; symptomatic of what is happening at sea-too much plastic | 18 | |
| 15 | Liathach | Competent landscape image; well seen; reflections reinforce the beauty of the place; stones and hedges on the foreground set the scene; pity, it is in a small format | 18 | |
| 10 | plenty of fish | A happy fisherman showing off his catch; well caught moment; title reflects exactly was is in the image; nice muted colours and well framed | 18 | |
| 2 | Big Red Smile | Good title; maybe different background (table?) would add extra interest; it would be good to know what it is laughing at; nice teeth; pleasing image | 17 | |
| 28 | Squiggles | Well seen but too busy with metal boxes cluttering the picture; nice muted colours; graffities complement well the pattern on the glass-door | 16 | |
| 28 | Green Parasol | Less is more, but in this case, the umbrella is too central & there is too much sky above, bringing nothing to the image, but the sense of emptiness; good contrasting colours | 16 | |
| 16 | Le Teich | Layers of vegetation, water, reflections & houses create a pleasant image, but bank too central and there is nothing to guide the eye; overexposed sky; | 16 | |
| 62 | It's in the woods | Busy and cluttered image, nonetheless intriguing; skilled photographer, but weird concept; not sure about the message it conveys | 15 | |
| 2 | Junkie table decor | Interesting set up, but too cluttered; one wonders all over the picture looking for a main focus; a few overexposed patches of light distract further, but good record shot | 15 |
