2025 Print Panel Competition – Judge Paul O’Toole (click here for Paul’s Instagram).
We were pleased to welcome Paul O’Toole to judge our Print Panel competition for this season. Paul is a local photographer, a previous member of Worthing Camera Club and an accredited Southern Photographic Federation Judge.
As this was an Open competition all images were judged in direct comparison to each other. The results demonstrated the strength within the club, as the Winner was from Club’s Advanced class and the Runner Up from the Beginner’s Group.
Paul’s ‘Best in Competition’ went to Barry Chidlow with “The Craftsmen’s Tools” and the Runner-up went to David Parkinson with “The Ilex Cathedral”.
Paul was very generous with his time and during the second half of the evening went through what Southern Federation Judges look for in images and how images are scored. To demonstrate the process Paul walked us through 10 of his images and we were encouraged to give feedback on each. This was then compared to the AI Judge Paul has created.
A huge than you to Paul for giving so generously of his time and for such a detailed critique of each Panel.
