Phil Eichas presented four spectacular images of baby swans to view and discuss; and he also presented three images which he asked other members to critique. This was a success – Phil came away with a unanimous decision on the best image to frame. It was also special to see Phil’s family join in on the evening which we sensed made Phil very proud.
