Never give up, remember an English picture won one of the monthly contests: Hadrian's Wall. Not all winners are the "best" photographs i.e. exposure and composition but generally a person's favourite view. Perhaps someone should start a not - Scotland photo competition.
Remember if it was not for us also rans there would be no viable competition.

One of the winners was also a point and shoot looking into the sun with a date stamp on it.

Thanks for your comments everyone, much appreciated
mrssanta, I'll try and keep the North Pennines ones coming, same as pgrizz does!!

Rick, Susie's are NOT 'point and shoot looking into the sun'-type of pictures They are of the carefully thought out and well-executed kind the lady knows what she's doing and it shows!!

I know, I was pointing out that any photo has a chance of winning, so people shouldn't give up entering their photos just because the photoshoped ones are doing well.

Thank you

When I made my original comment it was supposed to be "tongue in cheek" as I put a at the end of it. Think I should've put lots more as I didn't expect all the reaction

BTW, Rick, are you going to enter an animal for next month? You said the picture is on your flickr... There aren't that many animal pictures entered and I like them!

Ooh, now there's an idea...

Just to say a massive thanks to all the votes my wee pic got ! Really didin't expect it as every month the quality is more than exceptional (to my very untrained eye!). mine are just my personal passion.

I onyl enter to have my own works (that hold memories) sorrounded by greatness

There are clear winners and I am in awe of everyone work this month - jeez we have a talented bunch taking foties of an astounding landscape around us! Aren't we lucky !

The "big" names yet again provided us with a vista to relish!

Alastair S - Stop taking such good photos

You'll have to get up earlier Anyway I've hardly been out much this year - should have been ample time for other folk to get a look in

BTW that's one big avalanche that jenniferc6 captured (Loch Einich from Sgor Gaoith). Don't know if its been discussed on another thread but its a pretty scary sight - and one of the reasons I kept to safe ground for only my second outing this year.

Aye a cracking shot there Alistair S

I haven't been out for ages. Im more of a late-spring to early-winter walker. Not comfortable or confident enough for the snow yet. Hoping to head out properly in May though.
