2008 Photographic Competition Results

Congratulations to our photographic competition winners!

Thea Waters won the under 18 section with her landscape, showing Leafield's rooftops silhouetted against an evening sky; she received a signed wildlife photo taken by our judge John Brown and a leather bound photograph album.

Our over 18 prize-winner, Simon Bentley, won a signed wildlife photo and a £20 book token for his dramatic image of an exuberant cock pheasant, whirring its wings and showing off its handsome plumage.

Four competitors were highly commended and also received signed wildlife photos:
David Burton for "Dancing Butterflies", a pair of male speckled woods competing for a sunny spot in our own community woodland;
Melanie Burton for a fledgling blue tit perched on a stone in her garden;
John Woolliams for his group of male common frogs amongst spawn in his garden pond; and
Joode Weinhold for her brimstone butterfly resting on a colourful pea flower outside her cottage.

Many thanks to John Brown for judging our competition and donating some of his own beautiful photographs.
