Annual Portrait DPI

Judge: Mark Wilbrey
Date: 28th March 2013

Annual Portrait DPI	1st	Archer	Gary Allkins   The judge said, " This jumps out at me because of the way it has been lit. A commercial kind of portrait rather like Gandalph  from Lord of the Rings - a real character."
	2nd	Rhodes Beggar	Chris Durrant   The judge said,  " A strong portrait with the hard stare. Nicely vignetted to force us into the picture."
	3rd	Reflective Mood	Gary Allkins   The judge said, "A well thought out portrait. I enjoy the pose."
	Highly   Commended	The Singer	Gary Allkins   The judge said, Interesting lighting because of the double shadow. Great connection with the microphone."
	Commended	Aimee	Rich Marsden   The judge said, "Radiant face, This has not been posed. Her character shines through ."
	Commended	Ace of Spade	John McNaughton   The judge said, "The author has created a story with this portrait.  There's an almost sweaty texture to the guy's skin.He looks like a gangster ."
	Commended	Surprise	Andy Askey   The judge said, "Fantastic facial expression. This appeals to me because I have been studying stage characters recently"
