Nominations for the September Image of the Month (IotM) are now open through September 30. Time to start making your nominations for the month!
close wasn’t the word for it. I did raise an eyebrow to see me holding a lead but my photo had to take some ventolin asthma inhaler as it ran out of steam in the last furlong where ( I believe) johns excellent selfie took the lead before a sneaky finish line sprint saw Sandra take the finish line ahead of both of us. to be on a podium with those two images was an honour yet.Time to wrap up, 8 days is enough for anyone me thinks.
Three images very close together this month, jockeying for the top spot. ric alexander's wonderfully retro crab, my soulful selfie and sdimbour's sunburst beach scene Vieux-Boucau Landes.
Only 1 point separating the three (non voters take note).
The IOTM for May is.....

Sandra with her lovely sun burst beach. Well done sdimbour.
If the powers that be ( i.e. Venomator) could install Sandra onto the front page for the month it would be lovely
Many thanks to all the nominators and voters yet again

Nice to see you're keeping score as well Ric, might sub-contract you to do the countingjohns excellent selfie took the lead before a sneaky finish line sprint saw Sandra take the finish line ahead of both of us.
I liked the steelworks but there was something about the two tall chimneys that somehow distracts the eye. The crab being given a retro style makeover and the tones just pushed it above the steel works imho.im Still scratching my head at how my crab beat my far superior ( in my humble opinion) steelworks image
I did tally it up after being surprised of crabby getting some votes lol. I wish I hadn’t now but it was entertaining. Personally I don’t think it should have hit the top pack at all but I’m glad some people liked it.Nice to see you're keeping score as well Ric, might sub-contract you to do the counting

For the record Sandra took it with 21, I had 20 (and was glad not to win with that image) and you had 19. The non voters may have changed the result, but hey ho you can lead a horse to water and all that.
Macro, hmmm do you think you'll use it much?I did tally it up after being surprised of crabby getting some votes lol. I wish I hadn’t now but it was entertaining. Personally I don’t think it should have hit the top pack at all but I’m glad some people liked it.
im currently deciding on a macro lens for the iPhone 11. I want to break into a new genre.
I think I might. I want to do inside shells and close up of stuff you find on beaches etc. I’ve been looking at macros online with mobile photos and thought ‘hell yeah‘ I want to have a shot at that.Macro, hmmm do you think you'll use it much?
Good luck thenI think I might. I want to do inside shells and close up of stuff you find on beaches etc. I’ve been looking at macros online with mobile photos and thought ‘hell yeah‘ I want to have a shot at that.
The Jolly Fisherman?Well done Sandra![]()
Voted the worst holiday destination in the UK!! I had some good holidays there when I was a kid.
I usually look at each vote. I don’t actually keep count, just look for trends. It is entertaining.I did tally it up after being surprised of crabby getting some votes lol.

I usually check it now and then during voting week, too. It's always interesting to see what people pick when forced to choose just three because the selections are all so different. We all see different things in the images.I usually look at each vote. I don’t actually keep count, just look for trends. It is entertaining.
Me too. We stayed at Sutton on sea for several years when I was a kid, just up the road from skeggy. This is me and my mum outside the chalet. I refound this pic during fake Polaroid week. Clearly my mum didn't want her pic taken and had little problem letting my dad know that.Voted the worst holiday destination in the UK!! I had some good holidays there when I was a kid.
