COMPETITION Round 10 – 12th May 2026
P.O.T.Y. (Photograph of the Year) PRINTS
JUDGE – DAVID NEVE
The Chairman introduced David Neve to judge the P.O.T.Y. photographs. In this competition members submitted 4 prints in any combination of colour or mono. Giving David the difficult task of picking the winning print of the evening.
Number of members 12, entering 48 prints, covering a wide range of subjects. With his usual enthusiasm he gave each one his views on quality and content, what story he could see in the subject. Making none of the usual remarks of other judges, such as, cropping, removing unwanted objects, too close to the edges etc. Members must have got more help from Davids views to improve their photography for the future.
Finally choosing 10 images to hold back, giving maximum of 20 marks to each of these and giving a good selection of marks to the other 38 images. He then had the unenviable task of selecting the winner for the evening. He said that any of the 10 could be winners but his final choice was “Sun Catcher” by Sue Cross.
