Hi All
Sorry again for the delay posting this.
Yachtsman1 - Brass Band
This is a very British scene and fits the brief very well. I like how the colours are predominantly red, white and blue with the uniforms and bunting, I just feel it's a shame that we can't see the musicians faces very well and can only see their backs, I feel that if you could have taken the photo from a different angle, it may have made for a stronger composition.
Pammie - Funland
I really like this good clean image with a very simple composition, I like how you have kept it a mono apart from the British flag.
Janice - Union Jack
Another use of colour popping, which is something I have not mastered yet. I think if there had been a bit more tonal range in the sky it would have improved the image slightly, there's alot of white sky in this image.
John - British Empire
A clever, well thought out image of the British empire with Sandringham in the middle, unfortunately, it looks like the building has had one too many sherry's (or I have), it looks like it's sloping a bit to the left.
Mancunian61 - Blackpool Beach
This is another very British scene and fits the brief very well. It's a well composed image and you have managed to capture this on a nice day (a nigh on impossibility recently).
Phil - Model in Union Jack
This is also a nicely composed image, I like the dynamic angle you have taken this at, which allows you to keep in the whole flag, I like how this hang down and been arranged at her feet.
Now for the results......
3rd Place - Pammie
2nd Place - Phil
1st Place - Mancunian61
Congratulations and over to you Mancunian61, sorry, I can't remember who this is
Best Wishes
Tracey
