Ah had to go to web view to find voting options. It was a hard choice all Damm lovely pictures.

 

[Macaroon]

After much thought I've cast my vote, and as has been said there's no easy choice from those eight...........I have to say that I'm constantly surprised and delighted by the standard of image I see here, they're all of a very high standard and I thank all the photographers for them.

Thankyou very much for running this, Mesquite; it's been really great to see them all through the year....................Great Stuff!

I just want to add my thanks to Mesquite for his efforts in running this entire thing this year. I was inspired to take lots of pictures just for the monthly comps, and got a great deal of enjoyment from it.

Very many thanks.

I second that, I came in a bit late to the competitions but it has helped me get out and take more photos that are relevant and actually made me think more about my shots. In addition to that the photos posted by others were also great inspiration and gave me a few ideas to try in the future.

Thanks Steve and I hope the competitions run again next year.
