From our limited experience this year, portrait work isn't generally common in the society competitions. With lots of nice shots to choose from recently, I went with one of Billie Lister (make-up by Ruth Evans) and one of Charlie McInally from our recent nearly cancelled shoot.
18/20 - "Billie":

16/20 - "Charlie":

I'm very pleased with the scoring.
I really like the shot of Charlie, but have this nagging feeling it could be slightly better. I suspect I'm being overly critical and seeing faults with it that aren't really significant - the judge certainly didn't pick on what I considered obvious weaknesses, so maybe I just need to re-calibrate.
Surprisingly, there were a lot more portrait/people shots entered tonight.
The competition was judged by Duncan Macdonald (Kilbarchan).
