Last night, we were delighted to welcome Michael Krier, a very experienced and distinguished MCPF judge who came to give us his critique on our first Competition of the new season. It was a special evening for two reasons – it was Michael’s last judging evening before he retired, plus a record number of images had been submitted, with a large increase in the number of prints – in total 101 images were examined, commented on and judged – the results are as follows:
