Club Competition

Judge: Scott Trimble

Judge’s Statement:

What makes a terrific photograph for me is if the photographer conveyed herself in it. I have seen composition and vision achieved but poor technical execution, and vice versa. It is a matter of getting all those elements balanced enough that the personality, the essence of the photographer comes through. It comes from technical know-how, empathy, sore knees and chapped hands. I try and follow the mantra a mentor shared with me, “show them what they missed-even if they were there too.” In the end, if I see a photo and I immediately yearn to have been the one who shot it, that photo won me over.”
