As usual, the ‘open’ category saw a huge variety of images entered, as reflected in the top three images.

Marie Rollitt’s beautiful orchid took a well deserved first place.

Pam Fisher’s snow scene came second, with just enough colour in the image to keep it out of the monochrome competition!

Darren Worthy’s landscape shot of the Derbyshire Dales took the third spot in a very close competition.
