The first evening of the new year and we were off with a cracker... it was fantastic to see so many high-quality prints in the monochrome competition and I did not envy the judges task of attempting to pick a winner!

Congratulations go to Janet Downes who took first place with her beautifully crafted image of some flowers, second place went to Richard Lawrence with his slightly creepy shot of an art installation, and third place goes to Jon Burtoft with his imaginative take on Smeaton's Tower.
