I caught most of the live judging for both categories, and while it was informative to hear the varying critiques from the judges, there were a few things that stood out to me.
The biggest detractor for me was several images in both categories were too similar in subject, framing and content for it to be an overly enjoyable experience to watch, especially considering that only the top 25 images or so were being live judged.
I'd like to see more landscape judges on the astro landscape panel next year if possible. Having Paul and Peter on the panel was fantastic, as they both brought a wealth of experience from the technical proficiency side and the artistic side, completely independant of the astrophotograhy.
Either way, it's was a good experience to engage with and I look forward to next year.
