im voting for the pic that best translates the title , and not just the best pic of the bunch. They are clearly not the same two pics.

Too late to enter but this reminded me of some photos I took last year in the Mournes. Some of my favourite were the old quarry beside the Hares gap frozen.

Thanks for the welcome.

What way does it work? This winner picks a topic for next month or do you just come up with a theme each month?  Will have to keep an eye out when you open it.  Cheers

That's how it works... the winner gets the privilege, and sometimes a prize if we can scrounge one from somewhere.

This months winner will be announced in about 5mins... Drum Roll!!!

Well done Bic, was that Snowdon by any chance? I see i got a grand total of 0 votes, at least it proves i don't vote for myself  ;D

Bic got my vote. It was the image that stood out the most for me. The white snow and the blackness of the water made it special.

I didnt enter this month because, well it didnt seem to snow at all. Disappointed.


All the photos are highly commended.

The title being "Snow has Fallen" and you took a picture of Snow Falling  ;D

Must try harder  ;)
