Keith Saint was our judge for the second DPI competition of the season, Keith made some very insightful and some times humorous comments and observations on out images. Keith then very bravely set out his stall by also showing us a selection of his images which included some excellent landscapes of the Northumbrian coast.

And here,  below you can see the six images he selected, three commended + 1st,2nd & 3rd.
