Congratulations to the winners who again this month produced excellent images. Also congratulations to all participants for making such a competitive field and giving all of us reason to keep improving.

[Mike Buckley]

Yes! Completely agreed with Jeff.

A special thanks also to everyone who did such an excellent job of selecting the top entries, as I actually forgot to vote. Yikes!

Congrats to John, Bobo and Dave. All very good and well deserving of the places.

I thought all the entries were well done and the decision about who ought to be 1st was hard to make. Congratulations to John for his Entry Number 20: Passenger Waiting. This pic is intriguing. Since I am the curious type, I have a couple of questions about how this pic was captured? Was the passenger someone who posed for the shot? And was a tripod used? Or was this a spur of the moment shot? I appreciate this work of art!
Thank you!
Sandy

[Wendy Stanford]

Well done to the winners, exceptional images, very difficult to chhose just one image.

[Brownbear]

Congratulations to Dave, Bobo, and John! All absolutely gorgeous!

[Bobobird]

Congratulations Dave and John. Both wonderful images.

Can't agree more with Wendy and many others - this monthly is getting really tough month by month.

Been away for a few days in the Lakes but saw this on my mobile. Made up for the continuous rain. Wi Fi connections were a bit sparse so I waited until we got back to respond. Thanks all for the votes and comments. Congratulations as well to Dave and Bobo and I agree, it's getting harder but that means that the forum must be in good shape and it's good to see. Thanks all again.

Sandy, it wasn't quite a spur of the moment shot. I'd failed to capture a steam train (Sometimes, Life Just Sucks.) and saw the sunset developing so I hung around hoping to use it. Hand held, exposed for the sky with a fair amount of PP to bring out the rest.

John 2 ~ Hope your trip was enjoyable in spite of the rain! I agree that trying to reply via Wi Fi is difficult. There is pleasure using a dedicated connection after fussing with Wi Fi. Your photo is well done and I appreciate the explanation about how it happened! Maybe you'll catch the train next time!
Thank you
Sandy
