This was the first competition with our new scoring system. As Hazel noted, Boyd mentioned he had not been to many of the locations where tonight's images were taken but would like to visit some of them. He made no apologies for ranking several bird images amongst the top images noting the quality of these winning shots. Thanks to Boyd for providing constructive comments for us all.
