My Perspective

On a beautiful sunny evening in Kew Gardens the first ever My Perspective Awards took place.  Judge and patron, Emma Barton announced the winners on the evening and here they are:

The overall winner of My Perspective 2010 is Rory Davies with his picture, Sun.  Unfortunately Rory couldn't make it to the awards but he sent us a few words to read on his behalf:

'Thank you, I would like to meet you so that I could show you my photographs of some horses.  I like taking photographs because I love my family and my dog Bruno.  I like looking at the view through the camera.  I like using the camera, I like the way it works like a machine for your eye.  My photographs make me feel happy.  Winning the prize makes me feel happy, I feel like a winner.  Maybe one day I can win a prize for playing football.  We will have a party at home.  Love Roryx'

Our two runners up were named as Zoe Wilton for her fantastic picture, Kernow Koi (left) and Charlie French and his picture, Angel Statue that was taken in his backgarden. 

We then had the ten highly commended.  Billie-Jo Bailey - Summer GoGo, David Cormack - Grandpa, David Kenward - Red Deer Stag, Graham Busby - England Boy, Hannah Dainty - Daddy's Foot, Jonathan Grosvenor - Distant Chimney, Boat and Crowstone, Richard Young - Stackpole Flowers, Thomas Gammie - Photo of My Boots and Victoria Campos-Davis - Sunset at Ipanema. 

 
All winners received a fantastic new camera to carry on their photography kindly donated by Olympus.  We would also thank GlaxoSmithKline for their continued support of the DSA, Shifting Perspectives and My Perspectives.

We would like to thank everyone who entered the competition and a special thank you to our judges who had the incredibly tough decision of picking the winners.

Details of the launch of the 2011 competition will be announced shortly...
