About the judge

lighting designer, based in Suffolk. He specialises in landscape and
performance photography. He has known Shire Cruisers for many years,
as he is the elder brother of Susan Stevens. One of his pictures is
on the right.
James says:
"It is always a pleasure to start the new year by judging the Shire Cruisers photo competition, which always reminds us of warm days afloat, gliding through unspoilt country." James's comments appear below each picture.
Claire Ward sent this lovely composition. The way the foliage sweeps up to and over the bridge is delightful and the figures were very well worth waiting for.

3rd and the best vista: Tim Overfield with "Evening Light at Bingley", with the mills of Saltaire sunlit in the distance.
blog4th and the most imaginative use of wild flowers! Stephen or Claire Ward again with a shot that seems to show the boat growing into the bank, with a riot of oxeye daisies, cow parsley and a very photogenic foxglove.
