April ‘Detail’ comp: winners announced!

13 May 2021

Congratulations to Alla Kuyunzhi who has won our April 'Detail' photo competition with the image Eared Dandelion, as judged by our guest judge, photographer Drew Hopper.

Commenting on Alla's winning image, Drew said,

The winning image 'Eared Dandelion' is a well-executed photograph showing detail in small form. I'm instantly taken back to my childhood explorations in my grandmother's garden with the magnifying glass. I love the way Alla has observed and captured the observer while keeping a close eye on the fine detail of the dandelion. Making this image black and white helps give it that timeless essence, a really subtle yet wise choice by the photographer.

As winner, Alla will take home an amazing Mini PC Photo Editing Powerhouse, with 2TB fast SSD storage, Intel i7, Nvidia 3060 TI and 32 GB Ram thanks to our awesome sponsor Centre Com.

Drew has also given a special mention to the following three entries:
