I think this one was the hardest yet but there can only be one vote, so it has been made.
Well done all :clap::clap::clap:
 
Good luck to all the entrees! Absoloutly amazing photographs here. A real treat to vote in this one! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I forgot to post my entry for this but I'm sure I would have won.....so could you send me the £40 voucher please.
Many thanks in anticipation.:t:
Failing that I will vote for one of the other entries
 
Ian (serious comment)
I'm just about to post my vote but realised that I can only see some 50% of the entries. Which ever page I click on I seem to get the same 31 photos (any of which are good enough to win!!)
Is this just me ?
 
That threw me about the gallery for a while but it's because the top half of the page is 'recent' images. Scroll down further and you'll see the other images.

EDIT: just found that there's a little orange 'dot' on the right side of the bar with "Recent Photos - Monthly Photo Competition Entries". If you click that the recent images go away. :t:

You deserve it just for the cheekiness. |:D| :t:

I got that too - and unfortunately voted without seeing the rest :C

Only discovered the 'hidden' page AFTER my vote was cast.

From the voting, its obvious that plenty of people are seeing the whole lot, and I had assumed it was just me getting it wrong, but apparently not so.

I think Fozzybear covers this. It's just the way the Gallery is set up in every forum and you have to scroll down to see the different pages. You can select how many thumbnails you wish to view at a time.

I leave my page set up to 90 thumbnails which means you just have to scroll down to look at the full selection.

Got it----and now set my page to show more images.
Still got the problem of which one to vote for-I dont remember any comp' being as difficult due to the quality of all entries.
:clap::clap::clap: to everyone who entered.
 
I think my artistic appreciation must be improving. This month I've managed to vote for one that actually attracted some other votes! It may even make the top three.

Thank you to everyone who entered and who cast their vote.

I was delighted to get included in the final 50, I don't care I didn't get a vote as I was in great company. There were loads of cracking photo's I'd have given my eye teeth to have taken but the winner was quite simply in a league of it's own.
Well done Andy.
 
Well done to everyone for making it such a great selection. And special congrats to the winners! :clap:
