Judge's Comments "Whilst there is little to denote Xmas in Meadow Park, the position of the sun will tell anyone who understands light that it's winter. That and the bareness of the trees. It's always difficult to shoot into the sun and can normally never be done on auto camera mode as the camera gets very confused. So here is a good balance of light/shadows and the depth of the blue green clearly seen". |

Judge's Comments "Love the fire engine and Xmas decorations, good balance of light although the image has been heavily retouched to ensure it's a sharp enough image. The digital processing works well to show off the lighting and contrast" |

Judge's Comments "Flowers and a digital montage, now, I'm not into flowers to know if these are November / December, but I like the way they are drooping down. Almost to keep themselves hidden from the cool air"

| Brownies Methodist Nativity by Pauline Hargraves | |||
 |
Judge's Comments "Love this one, it's nativity again but so different to the previous one, is it a performance, a rehearsal just waiting to start. I love the amount that's going on in this shot, the attention on all the kids faces and the world they are involved with at that time is priceless. Love it!" |

| St. Mary's Church Nativity by Pat Brown | |||

Judge's Comments "Brilliant! Our village has a donkey sanctuary so we must be one of the only villages with festive donkeys. Love the shot, the brown and white donkey in their normal day to day modes of eating their food probably oblivious to the gear that they have been adorned in, but so ....Christmassy!" |
