Some excellent photos there but Essans stood out for me.

[MAF]

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Joke!!

[Paul Sherman]

JC For me

[flagpole]

Essan for me.

[Mad Murdoch]

LOUBY for me , an amazing shot...

[Rustynailer]

Well i voted for Paul. IMO the picture is good, but one part of the picture is stunning:-

[M'Lady]

Louby.

[AudMun]

Some very beautiful photos!

Close between JC and Blackie but I think Blackie wins......

[Blackie]

The competiton's getting tougher than ever! Some great pictures, apart from the first one of course.

But I have to give it to Louby. Very few people would have even thought of taking that picture like that. Me included.

But there's something vaguely familiar about it, though...

Super, Louby!! :lol: :lol:

[Essan]

JC for me I love the perspective in it!

[Louby]

thanks Blackie the kids have already pinched your super ozzy for their msn avatars!

[John Cox]

Great photos as usual.

Between Hilton, Essan, louby and Kelly f.

Essan for me this time with Louby a very close second.

I must get my wife to register. She liked Kelly f's the best.

[Greyowl]

Some great photos as usual but Louby gets my vote this time.

Essan wins for me...

Could use that for an anti-smoking poster!!

[Kent Snow]

Essan gets my vote. All superb photos though.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I have gone LOUBY

That sounds painful.

[M'Lady]

I know they can't officially vote, but Eldest and Youngest like Hilton's photo best.

[Bunny Girl]

Cannot believe how hard it was to choose a winner again, and after much deliberation I voted for Essan, such a beautiful shot. All the finalists were fabulous this month again though, and you are all winners with those shots.

[Anti-Mild]

Why has no-one else voted for Hilton? Great photo, very odd effect!

[Blackie]

I agree A-M. It's a terrific photo - and good to see you put your money where your mouth is and obviouly gave him a vote.

But I think it is just indicative of the high overall quality of the entries in these competitions now. What might have won a year or even a few months ago now faces a much tougher time getting past the line.

Can't wait to see the calendars when they come out. But it seems a shame that so many other good pictures may not see the light of day again. Perhaps the mods could set up a gallery for each year combining all the finalists from the monthly competitions. It would be nice to look back on some of those that nearly made it as well as the ones that got the accolade. Also, when the calendars are produced, it might be worth featuring the runners-up for each month, too. That's what happened with a calendar produced by an association I belong to, and it worked well. They used the best of the "also-rans" as a collage on the back cover.

Just a thought or two...

[Mad Murdoch]

blackie that is a good idea.

i think i suggested something simlar last year.

dont think any got done though..

[VillagePlank]

Essan for me
