YPOTY will there be any commended images announced?

[Zarozinia]

My daughter had 4 of her images shortlisted in the under 10 section and we were both wondering if any of the YPOTY images get commended or highly commended as the adults ones do?

On previous years' showings unless you belong to one particular family and your daughter uses a Canon 5D you should get the paper hankies out . .

My son was short listed and a bit shocked at the winners in YPOTY he was in the second age group

To him the shots are snaps or just lucky no skill involved,

Never mind i have told him to carry on he enters local camera club EFA competition and sails away when the judges dont know his age

and he has already attended two weddings as my assistant photographer and produced images that couples have picked over mine

There is always going to be sour grapes and i do wonder how closely the YPOTY images are looked at by the judges
