WPS had the first cumulative print competition for our Tier 1 and 2 photographers last week. In Tier 1, a very high standard of images was judged by Andy Swain, with seven scoring between 9 and 10.

The judge's overall favourite was ‘Broken Sea Defences’ by Anthony Cooves, which the judge liked as a simple seascape, with the handling of the moving sea and sky on a low shutter speed done very well.

In Tier 2, there was again a great collection of very differing images, with thirteen scoring between 9 and 10. The favourite was Jez Wood’s fantastic image of a shag bird called ‘Beady Eye’. The judge loved the detail in the feathers, with no distractions in the background and the titular eye in sharp focus.
