Slater and Gordon [In-house] Photo Competition Results

It was a longish-term photo competition organised by an ex-student of mine for his colleagues.  It started early on in the year and progressed, slowly at first,  but finished off with some truly great shots from the group.

Here are some of the best selected from a range of different categories, including Abstract, Animals, Landscapes, Cityscapes, Portraits and Quirky. 

Note that when judging I had no idea whose picture was whose - which is why I have not added any names. Images are loaded in no particular order of significance.  Note also: The feedback comments are recorded in 'category' videos at the bottom of the page.
