This was the first round of the PDI Print competition of the season held on October 8th 2026. This round had “Open” as both themes.
This season the club has a revised scoring system for the leagues: First, Second, Third, Highly Commended, and Commended images.
For each image I had to choose a roughly defined “genre” with the added condition that each submitted image must have a different “genre”.
Arctic Tern and lunch
On our tour of the Snæfellsnes peninsular on Iceland we stopped at Skarðsvík Beach. The sky was full of Arctic Terns and we watched them fighting and occasionally swooping down to catch a fish.
I selected “Nature” as the genre.
