The third formal competition for 2013 was judged on the 24th May by Darragh Sherwin
The theme was – Animal – so members had a wide topic to draw their entries from.
Darragh is a former Chairperson of Offshoot and is well known for his own bird shots – so he is suitably qualified to critique and judge our efforts. Our thanks to Darragh for returning and giving us the benefit of his experience with this genre.
