Really nice pics John,
 I have just spent a couple of hours whilst trying to avoid x-factor and looked at all the pictures posted in the competition, most of them are fantastic, It really makes me appreciate what a beautiful country we live in.
Well worth a look.

I was down at the reeks earlier this year it is a beautiful place, so many nice mountain ranges in Ireland
I love taking photos but usually just have my phone to take them with so no big fancy cameras or effects or anything. If I see something worth taking or interesting I will take a photo but I dont go out of my way to find a picture.
I enjoy seeing great photos of places of beauty and the fact they are accessible to me makes it more interesting. There are places in those pics on the utv.snapper site that i have never been to, but after seeing the pictures of them i really want to go there now.

we've yet to see your masterpieces pablo  :D

personally i think it was a great picture, the way he has worked the light really draws you in, and thats all this picture really has, use of light, there is nothing else amazing about the picture, just a few rocks, a bit of grass and the sea, which makes it all the more amazing  :)

what an amazing shot! A worthy winner!  it interesting what adults see in a picture and what children see in the same one.. Eoghan wanted to know if the Gruffalo was at the entrance of the cave and saw monsters faces in the rocks lol..
