CROW photographer Dan Wilson judged a photographic competition at Roysia School in Royston last week.
And he came to the conclusion: "All the photos were of a high standard, so it was really hard to judge.
"But you could tell the winning entrants had taken the theme and interpreted it in their own way."
Year 5 teacher Kat Pulman organised the competition to get children out and about over the half term.
"I wanted to spark some enthusiasm," she said.
Eighteen nine-to-13-year-olds took part in the competition, and took photographs based on the theme of happiness, with pictures including portraits to abstract images.
