The Winning Photos
Under 10 years
11 to 14 years
The images were judged on the following.
Theme – Irish Pollinator
Composition & Focus – Is the image in focus? Camera shake? Is the composition pleasing? How does it draw your attention? Do all parts of the image play a part of the whole?
Lighting – How does the light fall on the subject and on the background? Does the light draw your eye to the right place? Is there depth to the image?
Exposure – Are colours well represented from dark to light? Is the image nicely balanced and not too bright or too dark?
Position – What is the angle / pose of the subject in relation to camera and background? Obviously bees don’t pose – this is about capturing a pleasing angle!
Space – How much space is in the picture? Is the subject to close / too far etc.?
Artistic feel – Photography is not only about technical. Some of the most iconic images of our time are not technically perfect. Artistic feel is equally important.
- What is the story being told?
- Is there a deeper meaning?
- Can I look and see more / see it differently over time? This is a felt experience.
