Group	Rank	Score	Author	Judging sequence & Title	Comments
C	1	20	Emyr Williams	20 Pylon In Blue	Simple and well seen, great lines shapes and lighting. Really enjoyed. Great effort.
	2	18	Jim Turner	32 The Eyes Have It	Well seen – pardon the pun. Great focus – pardon the second pun would have really loved someone looking through these. Enjoy this one.
	3	17	Peter Cotton	12 Cranes At St Pancras	Great idea, subject may have been tempted to make red a bit more vibrant but really liking the shapes.
	3	17	Jim Turner	05 Silvery Scales	Birmingham Bull Ring. Interesting viewpoint, pattern form and flowing line.
	5	14	Emyr Williams	07 Adriatic Fishing Technology	Fishing jetty, hard to find good focal point, would have been tempted to get to water level to get a more dynamic image of shapes beware of edges.
	5	14	Peter Cotton	18 Diamonds Are Forever	I would have struggled to identify these as diamonds initialy, unfortunately light is not your friend with this very flat with no sparkle. No idea of scale presuming ultra macro?
B	1	20	Richard Anthony	13 Loen Skylift	Fabulous monochrome, perhaps slightly more contrast but very minor point, positioning of cable car just spot on. Well done fabulous image.
	2	18	Hilary Moore	17 Singapore Tower	Another monochrome, author has used a creative viewpoint and zoomed in on this struture to highlight the form and support of the dishes. Well seen.
	3	17	Brian Howard	27 Ferrari Wheel And Brake Shoe	Once again hone in on detail of this brake caliper great texture of rubber. Additional lumination on brake disc (e.g. from LED torch) would have worked/improved shot.
	3	17	Linda van Geene	24 Is The Projector Ready	Interesting projector liking textures metal/wood. Try to bring exposure down on back walls.
	3	17	Richard Anthony	21 Ship Shapes Communication Housings And Mast	High tech communications/radar. Difficult to add something different other than where taken from.
	6	16	Brian Howard	16 V. W. Engine	Nice clean engine – better than my VW! Hard to add additional interest other than 7 up can being a novelty. Ultra wide angle or fish eye in close would bring some creativity.
	6	16	Linda van Geene	01 Cutting Edge Tech The Victorian Way	Good detail/exposure in engine. Men on left too close to edge need angles to improve comp.
	6	16	Mike Mitchell	11 Don’t Lean Out	London Tower bridge and buildings good focal point, quite like the light on metal tubes but would have croped to these to bring all interst to centre of image.
	6	16	Philip Byford	22 Marlow Suspension Bridge	Marlow bridge, I have hundreds of photos of this bridge. I would have lost 45% of left hand side to concentrate on the ironwork and shadows.
	6	16	Sue Case	23 Three Little Boats	Three small fishing boats loosing detail exposure (over). Bring horizon down by about an 1″ to emphasise letterbox more. Bathroom picture. Commercial value.
	11	15	Hilary Moore	19 Entrance To Neolithic Burial Chamber	Some some good textures in rocks and plants but erring on the side of natural history rather than technology
	12	14	Mike Mitchell	31 The Thing That Makes The Whatsit Go Round	Mechanical part of engine? Unfortuneatly lighting very 2D less would have been more.
	12	14	Philip Byford	08 Aldbury Church	Stained glass window image easily replicated, difficult exposure. Tempted to get really close to glass and lead flashing for a more dynamic treatment.
	12	14	Sue Case	03 Beyrl Bike	Monochrome, not sharp anywhere, perhaps better if got in closer and slected small area to photograph
A	1	19	Rob Harley	33 River Control And River Patrol	Fab lighting on this to really show the metalic texture in the shrouds. The yellow of the cranes stand out beautifully. The boat is an added bonus. Actually I think the image works well with or without the boat. Great effort.
	1	19	Ully Jorimann	10 Ferrari 599 In Modena Yellow	Good detail/exposure/color. Great example of selective capture of interesting lines and shapes. Great shot well seen.
	1	19	Ully Jorimann	26 Vertical Vista Or Is it	Interesting structure bordering on organic due to shapes. Liking the colour slight blowout on LH side. Great image well seen.
	4	18	James McCracken	34 Wet Rialto Market At Midnight	Technically a great photo but a little short on the definition of technology.
	4	18	Vicky Sinclair	14 Down The Lines	Simple yet well observed, would have scored higher if removed 25% of sky on left would improve overall nice spot.
	6	17	John Marshall	29 Pens Ancient And Modern	Another still life, gerat combination of old/new technologies all objects linked by pen but where is the ink for the quill!!! Its the only element missing that enables the object to work. Good effort
	7	16	John Humphrey	06 Havana Cars	Like letterbox crop, pink a little too dominant, colour spot (Yellow). Tempted to crop left by 45% to improve composition.
	7	16	John Humphrey	25 Bulb	Very simple shot which works but need something added to make it different form any other bulb of this type shot. If backlit need to make surrounding darker in order to emphasise.
	7	16	John Marshall	15 Jobsworth	Still life, great idea mixing the logo’s in real life, needs more creative work on lighting and placement. Keep doing more of please.
	7	16	Rob Harley	09 Rutland Water Reservoir Around Normanton Church	Composition reasonably good, lighting favorable, do not need ducks crop 20% off bottom to focus attention.
	7	16	Ian Shaw	30 Designer Scaffold	Possibly attracted by the shapes and colour. Like the angle used though.
	12	15	Ian Shaw	02 Fishing Floats At Axemouth	Needs crop at bottom to balance image. Interesting viewpoint/shape but lacks punch
	12	15	James McCracken	04 Built To Last…400 Years Ago	Bridge over river at nightfall. Correct timing needs a more interesting focal point.
	12	15	Vicky Sinclair	28 Mobile Reflections	Great idea but lost in execution. Would a colour picture of the reflection have been more creative? Yes certainly. Keep this idea going and keep on doing this.
