Wish I hadn't entered now, all the rest are great!
I thought the VNN was going to be a bit of a failure the other day when there were no entry's in.

MJ they are all great , I dont know which one is yours so its no worse than any of the others.
what amazes me is not just the content but the variaty of camera skill shown on each one
the timing of the first two and the last one is brilliant
the focus on the otter is stunning as is the focus on the puffin and woodpecker
technically ( apart from Mr Farrels laying on the bonnet to get his watersplash photo

) these are the best yet

Indeed, I would think that one excepts to find this level photos from magazines rather than some odd car discussion board

I think you should declare number 2 winner.
And make it snappy.

Dunno man, I like the look of number one as well, but the composition looks a bit ruff.

This one is very close and it was hard for me to pick one to vote for.
Well done to everyone who has entered

I can't remember the conclusion when this question was first raised. I think it was that if you enter you can vote for any entry except your own. Of course, there's no way of telling if anyone votes for there own, but its a bit unfair, and your only cheating yourself
