Thanks Paul. Just to add that Judge Michael Krier from the Cheltenham Club was typically constructive in his scoring and feedback. He has judged us before on a few occasions as well as presenting a talk to us on what judges look for. 

Also, it’s worth mentioning that in judging Vicki’s image Michael Krier felt that it had been taken by a professional and likened the style to that of American Photographer Alex Soth. High praise indeed. Well done again Vicki. Here’s Alex Soth’s website so that you can see where Michael is coming from.
