The Judge was Ted Baker FRPS. Ted, himself a very fine monochrome artist, judged the images by the standard that the late Alec Balmer would have liked. So there was a very varied selection of award winners.

This years winner is Mike McWade with his image of Black Linn Falls, nearDunkeld, Perth and Kinross

There were many more fine images, but alas we don’t have the space!
