Announcement of the Category Winners of our Autumn Photography Competition 2021
Congratulations to the Category Winners!
We are delighted to announce the category winners for the Dever Society Autumn Photography Competition 2021.
Wildflowers and Berries category
The winner of the Wildflowers and Berries category is Victoria Thompson with “Berry Feast.”
“In October this rowan tree in West Stratton was laden with orange berries untouched by birds; a month later, as temperatures dropped and the berries started to fall, blackbirds swooped in to feast and within a couple of days the branches were bare.”
Waterside category
The winner of the Waterside category is Sheila Williams with “Autumn Reflections at Stoke Charity Church.”
“I enjoy walking around the village of Stoke Charity and particularly love this view over the pond, which was previously watercress beds, overlooking the beautiful Norman church of St Mary and St Michael.”
Woods category
The winner of the Woods category is Rachel Parker with “Woodland Fungi.”
“I was exploring and photographing the Autumn colours in Blackwood Forest whilst taking the dogs for a walk. I attempted to get the woodland in the background whilst the focus was on fungi.”
Thanks to everyone who entered the competition
Photos were judged on composition and technical ability.
We received many high quality images and, as always, it was difficult to choose between them.
We would like to award commendations to two additional entries.
“White on Red” by Steve Pullen.
“I spotted this white feather with raindrops whilst walking through the grounds of Mottisfont House after a very heavy rain shower.”
“King of the River by Brian Cooper.
“I was walking by the River Itchen near Winchester looking for wildlife when I spotted this little beauty.”
