2020 Founders Cup
To produce a winning image, it is necessary to make sure that there are no distractions before taking a photo. Often these distractions are not noticed until after printing, or the flower has died, this then involves another twelve months wait to do it all again.
Thank you to all those who submitted photos and congratulations to Marg on her winning photo.
