Paul Duxfield, our competition judge:
This months selections were almost as difficult to choose a winner from than last, and it was down to the wire with two of the choices, but this time I went with my heart rather than head, with the two I finally decided upon in my shortlist.
And this was between Keith Sheldon’s excellent portrait of a resting turtle with a clam in the left foreground, a really good example of an underwater portrait, beautifully composed and lit, with the subjects eyes in perfect focus with a pleasing bokeh to the background.
However my final choice has gone to Wiloletta’s stunning sunset shot, and whilst they can be a cliche and easy to shoot, it presses all the emotional buttons and really sells the idea of a Red Sea shore based holiday, simple, graphic and evocative.
I love it, so whilst Keith’s turtle is really good indeed this sunset made me wish for Egyptian shores.
So well done Wioletta cracking shot.
