Sue McGarrigle was our judge of the 37 Prints and 40 DPIs presented

Sue's comments about nature photography before and during the judging were informative and could well form the basis for consideration of our rules re our nature competition. She gave me this document 'Nature Photographers Code of Practice' available on the RPS Nature Group's Web site.
