Unprecedented number of entries for competition

Highly respected and popular photographic judge, Marija Lees, heroically accepted the challenge of judging nearly 100 entries for Dawlish and Teignmouth Camera Club’s Second Open Competition.

In characteristic style, Marija found something positive to say about every submission and her critique was delivered with warmth and humour – not to mention a fast-pace - due to the unprecedented number of entries.
