congrats to all places.

commenting on this again,as it was buried when I commented on POTW

All Excellent. Setting a standard.

An excellent set of images worthy of any competition (I'm pleased to say Harrop Tarn also got a 1st in my local camera club comp)
I thought De La War Pavilion was a stunning, powerful shot & got my vote as 1st in my top 5.

Congrats to all of the top five. Very excellent choices all around.
