Photography Competition Results (2011)

Below are the results of our 2011 Photographic Competition.
The standard was high, but it was plain to see that most images were not taken with the competition mind. Most of the images could have been improved with digital manipulation or by means of cropping. 
There is a big difference between taking pictures for your album and for competition.
