The third and final PI competition of the season was judged by John Lynch. This was the first time John had judged one of our competition and it was fascinating to see another style of judging.
With 73 images to adjudicate, John decided that he would like a run through of only the images that would be judged before the tea interval and then a run through of those being judged after the break. I am not convinced by this approach as it is not possible to obtain an overall feel for the standard of competition, disadvantaging images in either half depending on their peers. This is the first time I have encountered this approach. In the past Judges has asked for another complete run through after the interval to refresh their memory.
In the final outcome, some 30% of the images achieved 18 or more.
