Hi Andy

I know you've been a member for some time, but until you've made 10 forum posts there are a few restrictions, one of which is that you can't vote in polls.

You can read more here. You're half way there

Always nice when the one you voted for wins but boy it was not straight forward. There were some absolutely amazing images but at the end of the day I voted for the one I felt was hardest to achieve.

Now tell me the Snow Bunting was hanging in the wind for ages !!!!!

Never the less a cracking shot. Well done.
