2008 Monochromatic Photography winning entry, 'Little TJ', by Kate Tye
Judges' comments:
Beautiful, Decisive Moment/ lighting on subject/ captivating/movement, REAL.
(By way of highlighting how impressed he was, Craig also described the effort
he would have had to go to to if he were to set up such a portrait in the
studio.) The photographer explained she had taken the photo when her niece
was jumping on the trampoline. She had realised what a lovely photo it would
make.
2008 Creative Photography winning entry, 'Double Take', by Gavin David
Judges' comments:
Looks like film fogging such as could happen at the end
of a roll of film. End result is like a photographic version of an abstract
painting. Is it an accident? Unpredictable. I love it.
2008 York Subject winning entry, 'Wambyn' by Andrew Davoll
Judges' comments:
Beautiful treatment. Love how the blacks bleed and the hues
of amber, yellow, orange, blue and indigo glow.

2008 Open Colour winning entry, 'Blue Clams', by Alex Cearns
Judges' comments:
Technically excellent. Sharpness, colour, presentation, size of print, execution,
birds-eye-view.(The judges wondered at the colour saturation and brightness
and contrast, and asked Alex to explain how she had managed to get such a
clear aerial view and clear picture. She said she had been fortunate to be
at the right time and place at the coral reefs, and had been able to lean
out and cast her own shadow over the area in such a way as to block out the
light variations from other sources to get such a clear and even snapshot.
And no, it wasn't under sea, but from over it.)
