Photo Competition Judge - Ella Wright

Well known to many in Australia through her many visits photographing cows across the country, world respected livestock photographer Ella Wright is the 2020 Jersey Australia Photo Competition Judge. Ella started her photography career in 1995 with Patty Jones before starting out on her own in 2002. With her mum and sister, Ella also founded Cowsmopolitan Dairy Magazine an All Breeds Dairy Print Magazine before selling the magazine in 2019 allowing for time to focus on photography. Jersey Australia thanks Ella for providing her time to judge the photo competition.

1st Place PIC: LYNDSAY HEATH – This photo has so many great elements, that makes it a clear winner for me. All of the circular elements draws the eye in, and the repeating circular patterns (tank, nipples, the around shape the calves make and the repeating lines the topline of each calf creates further interest. Their little tails switching and raised gives the photo life. I would prefer that this photo wasn’t cropped so tight and to see a bit more of the fore-ground & background. PIC: DANIELLE PENNO – I love the backlight in this photo with the sun coming up (or going down) behind the gum trees, and the haze from that light and perhaps a bit of fog in the background gives the light a beautiful warm to it & the dog leading the eye into the photograph.

3rd Place PIC: MATT GAVENLOCK – There is always something special about a Jersey’s face and eyes, and I think for me in this photo the light and the dark creates interest in the photograph, that it goes from dark, to light back to dark and helps you to focus on the eyes of this calf. Again on this photo I would prefer if the ears werent cropped off but perhaps there were some distracting elements and that is the reason it was cropped.
