Selectors' Comments

Brief comments from the selectors are included in the Exhibition Catalogue.

The Selectors explained that their aim was to select work that was not only technically good but was also creative and original.

They felt that some of the digital imaging prints submitted had been let down by poor choice of paper or overuse of saturation and sharpening, and that there were comparatively few outstanding sports and natural history prints.

However, they described these as minor criticisms. They praised the high standard of the large and varied entry, and believed that there were "more than enough high quality prints to produce an exhibition that would have something of interest and value to all photographers and visitors alike".
