"Black & White Birds" Competition - Member Voting Results

The Black & White Birds competition was held in March-April 2017.  This competition was all about exposure - how to expose both the black and the white feathers on your subject without losing the detail.  The objective is to achieve a well-exposed shot of the subject without blowing out the white on the bird whilst still achieving some detail in the black feathers.

The results of member voting for the top 5 images in each category are listed here.  In line with many other bird/wildlife photo competitions, we present the results in the following manner: the Winner is the image which received the most votes; and we also show the next four highest placed images, rating them as Highly Commended if they received at least 90% of the votes for the winning image, and Commended for scores less than that.
