CORONA PHOTO COMPETITION NO.4
Rules of the Competition
The theme of this competition is “paper”.
Pictures to be taken with a cell phone only.
Post-processing is allowed, but only in the cell phone
Pictures to be sent via WhatsApp direct to the group, I will pick them up from there.
Closing time Saturday, 4 April, 18h00.
Judging was done by Mike Tarmey, one of my photographic friends, not only this we also spent many hours together working on projects at AECI in Sasolburg.
And here a few of my thoughts about the theme. Paper! No, I have no thoughts, I leave it to your imagination. And notice I added another day to give us more time to come up with those super pictures and to give me a bit of a break.
| 1st prize |

| author: Tania |
| judges comments: I saw this shot as the best balanced image. Again I have shown the Golden Circle Leading you from the Path Care document round the rest of the image. |
| 2nd prize |
|
| author: Oliver |
| judges comments: I have superimposed the Golden Circle on this photo. See how your eye follows the curve from the perfectly placed Webafrica document round through the other papers. |
| 3rd prize |
|
| author: Eric |
| judges comments: I have superimposed a Thirds grid on the photo. The spectacles are there, though I would have liked them a little over to the right. |
| and following, the other pictures |
|
| author: Hester Louise |
| judges comments: A simple but excellent idea. Moving the books over to the left to give more room on the right would strengthen the shot. |
|
| author: Judith |
| judges comments: Another good idea. If the positions of the two lower butterflies had been swapped you would have had a nice angled composition. Why two pens? |
|
| author: Roger |
| judges comments: I think you should have stood back a bit here and angled the shot so the lettering is over to the right. |
|
| author: Jenny |
| judges comments: An eye catching shot. I would have liked to see the large roll of paper below the two smaller rolls of paper on the right. |
|
| author: Michael |
| judges comments: I like this set-up. If only you had the polar bear on the next ice sheet down and pointing at the boat it would be perfect. |
|
| author: Rosario |
| judges comments: Very imaginative. If the painting was angled clockwise by 20o and given space on left it would have been a strong contender. |
|
| author: Horst |
| judges comments: What about the big S, or do you need more paper for it. You need more room here and a less central Composition. |
|
| author: Christopher |
| judges comments: Here you need a focal point. An envelope with a stamp on it sticking out of the mass of stamps on the top right would have made this photo. |
|
| author: Dave |
| judges comments: I like this idea. It is a difficult shot to take. I would have liked to see the dart in the open sky, but timing it would have been hard. |
|
| author: Frans |
| judges comments: Simple but effective. The toilet roll need more space round it to the right and bottom of the shot. |
