Thank you everybody who voted for my pic. :D I'm a bit stunned :shock: that I not only won but ran away with it considering the wonderful quality of the mountain pics this month. Congrats to Eddie, Frazer and Iain for 2nd and 3rd.

Cheers Eddie. It's a crop so unfortunately there will be a limit as to how big I can get a good print. I think it may well go in a few more competitions however :think:

Congratulations eveyone. some cracking photos and everyone should be proud of their entries.

I am not sure if this is allowed but for any keen photographers in the Aberdeen area , the North East (Scotland) John Muir Trust is hosting a talk by Peter Cairns (top wild life photographer) on Monday (25th) night. PM me for details. Every one welcome.

A great photo Johnkaysleftleg, I can almost feel the spray of the water on my face as I look at your pic :clap:

Well done also to XPFloyd for one of the nicest photos of the Buchaille I have seen :D

Thanks to everyone who entered and allowed the rest of us to enjoy these tremendous photos, I hope no one is put off by not getting many votes, It's just the way things are :D
