Rich Despins judged our competition focused on photographic composition "rules" such as leading lines, s curves, rule of thirds and odd numbers of objects. Rich reminded us that it is not enough to be technically good, an image must also be interesting, i.e. not just a snapshot. As always, pay attention to details like distracting items, blown out areas and correct cropping. In particular he focused on architectural images and the need to straighten converging lines using software editing tools.
