UNTITLED by VAL WINCHESTER

Fame at last with a cost! I have to choose this month’s front page spread. Thanks to John Bentley for choosing mine as his photo of the month in the last newsletter.
The image that stood out most to me on the night in the Practical Evening gallery was Val’s picture of leaves, seeds and petals taken on the lightbox. It has beautiful, clear details and the colours are lovely. I would happily have it on my wall or as a greetings card. Close run next two, in no particular order, as they say on Strictly, are Vonny’s ‘Backlit’ sunflower which made me think of flames in the fire and Elaine’s ‘Glass’ with floating stone” – how did she get it to do that?
Sorry gents, but I think it was the ladies’ night.
