Our first competition of the year September 17th using the new rules and Class/Categories was a success and we had 128 photographs to judge and enjoy.  Our largest group of entries was in the Class 3 Advanced Digital with 27 entries.  The Monochrome print category that includes Classes1,2, and 3 had 24 prints being the second largest group.  In Class 1 Digital, all 11 entrants entered 2 images each as Novice Class 1 entrants are allowed 2, but not mandatory. Their images as Novice were quite good and we hope they continue to enter with the same enthusiasm.  The other Class 2 (Intermediate) and Class 3 ( advanced ) can only submit one image each.  The images keep getting better and we have a wonderful group of very talented people .  I am very proud to be part of this esteemed group of photographers.  I feel our competitions and critiques make us all better photographers; the method seems proven as we all grow and develop our skills.  Many thanks to Josh Taylor for being our judge and giving us inspirationally fine critiques.
