Great judging Robert. Well done Catherine, that is a stunner. Congrats to David and Rizole - both fab images. As we can see from all the HMs, it was a great week for black and whites. Now, let's give Catherine something to think about this week!


I will now hang Catherine's lovely image in the Gallery with the other winners.
