The 2019 People and faces open competition was judged by Boyd Mieklejohn, who has been a member of Ayr PS for around 8 years. The images on his website show various types of photography, however at present Boyd is focusing on macro photography.

Before Boyd delivered his judging comments he explained that it can be a matter of personnel preference,  indeed the last competition he entered he was savaged - there was a splatter of laughter for the membership at the host remark.

Tonight, in total, there were 118 images supplied by the club. Boyd made comments ranging from subject placement in the frame, cropping and watch the background main subject ratio. Humorously he commented he was pleased to see no kingfisher or bauchille images  which created a ripple of laughter from the club.
