  1. Many thanks to Robin for judging the competition and to John for putting it all together. It was a great evening with many stunning shots that didn't even make the top 3 places.
    I'm eternally grateful to all who voted for my overall winning shot and I'm honoured to be the first recipient of the Graham Soden trophy for my Western Red Colobus photo. Here's to next year's competition!
