David McWhirter, above left, won the photographer of the year award at Seen 2013. It was well deserved. He is prolific and very talented, working in a variety of styles. He took first in 11 of 30-odd categories. I heard something about him being a judge at Seen 2014, which would clear the way for some of us back in the pack.
There were some lessons for me to learn from this year's show: work more slowly. Think more, press the shutter less. Very hard things for me to do since I spend my work days reacting as fast as I can to a barrage of stimuli. It doesn't foster contemplation.

I just followed the link, those graveyard photos are incredible.
felicitation au vainqueur, sa galerie photo est impressionnante (j'aime bien sa serie sur Lola van Ella )
The most difficult is to find a style that somebody immediately recognize as , oh he or she made that. Not many reach that point but you can always try.
Winning 11 of 30 categories is indeed impressive.
Good for David! He's got a lot of character in his face.
It's hard though Bob because quite often we don't have enough time to line up the shot exactly, it's a snap or lose situation! I see many prizes coming your way in 2014 :)
