A worthy winner, well spotted and executed. Pity the canal's designer isn't around to take some credit for aligning the locks with the church tower .
And thanks for the 3rd place. Interesting that on the basis of these entries, canals and long boats seem to attract more photographic attention than rivers.

I bet you've seen a few interesting things in the riverbanks and on canal towpaths as you approach quietly and low in the water... .As a man that spends quite a bit of time paddling my kayak on our waterways

My apologies for being late here - I just set the next competition and legged it due to other commitments. Judging might be a similarly short affair too next Monday Thank you Nigel for the 1st place and congratulations to the runners up. And next time I'm lurking at the water's edge I shall watch out for kayaks with cameras!

Paddle Boarding on Bridgewater by johnriley
A grab shot, whist the paddle boarder is well framed I find overall composition isn't really working for me with this one
Worsley by sueriley
Well judged spot to capture the scene, the bridge and its reflection working well to frame the centre of the image.
In the Riverbank by Lubbyman
I like this one, good to have a little injection of humour.
Relaxing in the Heart of Bristol by Itsmix
Lovely city scape canal scene. Well framed the trees and canal taking my eye into the frame
Side by Side byRayW
For a picture of a train, the canal and lock dominate which is good for this comp. Well timed shot
"Birdswood" on the Cromford Canal by SSF1957
Well framed and captured of a delightful boat including a nice reflection.
Hatton Locks by davidwozhere
You've done a good job of capturing the locks and landscape, nice graduation.
Gas Street Basin by Simonmac
Well framed shot, I'm not so taken with your post processing on this one. Good use of a fairly wide angle.
Oliphants River by Noelcmn
Once you see the grazing Elephants you realize the sheer scale of this amazing place.
1st Place davidwozhere
2nd Place SSF1957
3rd Place Lubbyman
Thank you all again for your entries. As a man that spends quite a bit of time paddling my kayak on our waterways its lovely to see others take on these important parts of our landscapes.
Best
Nigel
