Judges comments
“A bold, happy image with good central interest and full of appeal.
Strong, well balanced composition, pleasing use of focus and blurred background. A straightforward shot superbly executed. Definite cover material.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17391″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Adam Woodhams (NSW) – Highly commended
Judges comments
“Rich, colourful composition packed with impact and interest. Short depth of field works well, drawing the eye into the kangaroo paw’s central area while allowing the outer parts to drift out of focus yet maintaining their prehistoric looking beauty.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17394″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Libby Cameron (NSW) – Highly commended
Judges comments
“Stunning depiction of the complexity and intriguing beauty of nature at its colourful best. Simply framed with good central focus and background blurring, given added interest through the emerging flower bottom right.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”17395″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
