DUNDEE KZN: And the winners are….

A huge thank you to all who entered our photography competition run in May. 

The standard of entries were so high, that choosing a winner proved quite difficult. Congratulations to the following winners and the honourable mentions:

ANIMALS
Winner – Caryn Robberts

Honourable Mentions:

NATURE:
Winner – Melissa Gilbert

Honourable Mentions:

PEOPLE:
Winner – Vernen Naicker

Honourable Mention:

The people category was judged by professional photographer, Tersia Olivier who was torn between these two photos. 
” In the People category it’s a close call between Melissa Gilbert and Vernen Naicker.
Feedback on Melissa’s photo:

• Good composition of the photo – excellent depth of field 
• Subject is well exposed – photo quality is crisp and clear
• The contrast of the purple dress against the dark forest works well
• The mood of the photo is whimsical (loving the ray of sunlight near her feet)

  Feedback on Vernen’s photo:

• Goes against every rule of photography
• Rule of third not applied
• Angle would have worked better if the photographer had taken the photo at the same level of the child
• Taken with a smart phone so can’t really judge exposure, depth of field, focus etc. as these are automatic
• A brilliant photo nonetheless because of the emotion captured. The smile on the boy’s face, the twinkle in his eye and his muddy boots, tell a beautiful story.
  Overall, Vernen’s photo is my choice!
