Many thanks for the judging Tony and for the honorable mention for theme stretching! Congrats to the winners, Jo in particular. Great to have someone new winning again.
Though, in one way it very much feels like old times - a photo posted by Martin winning the competition!

Thanks Tony for the thoughtful comments (and especially kind ones for me ) and also my third place! Hope the argument wasn't too serious. I guess from my podium finish you were on my side, I hope she didn't hate it too much
And a BIG congratulations to Jo! It's fantastic to see a new name winning.
Lots of good shots this week!

Congratulations to Jo (and Martin, giving a helping hand) and well done Tony, the quickest ever judging job!
Dr. Mhuni, that entry is another masterpiece of yours. I feel I can hear the horn sounding, stunning picture. I can follow Tony's argument, I would have been seriously tempted, though, if I had been in his boots (pun intended).
Well done everyone and shame on me for sitting this one out...

Oh crikey, I really didn't expect that. I think the answer is to ditch the 18-55mm lens as a dud. Thanks for being so kind to a newcomer (I know you'll all get tougher soon). And to the chap who very kindly posted the image that got left out! I'm not sure how this works; I think I post a new subject? Will-give-it-a-go-Jo.

Just as well I didn't enter then Actually, I was going to enter one of my archaeological society surveying, but when I saw the quality of the images already in it wasn't in the same league.Congratulations to Jo & her walking boots and thanks to TOZZA27 for the comprehensive judging submitted at 17.59
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Congratulations with a well deserved win, Jo.
It was no problem helping you out. Don't expect help with the judging part though.....
A great round to follow and I enjoyed the overall quality. Well done, everybody.

Congratulations to the top 3.
I would have found it hard to choose between them.

That was quick, given the top shots submitted. And effective too - well done to all (esp. to Jo), and thank you Tozza. Yes - I just drink them without collecting the machines.

Congratulations to Jo on winning with a first time entry and to the other competitors for some fine photos. BTW in Hyram's picture of Bittern
you say that green is its original livery. When new it was blue.
