Each category will have a winner each week and this week judged hopefully by Stuart/sedwards.

Photo from my recent honeymoon to Lake Plitvice, Croatia. Hundreds of waterfalls and no tripods allowed....:(

That looks incredible for not having a tripod.

ok sorry it took so long but deciding which i like best is a lot harder than i thought. some awesome pics this week !
for the portrait category i have to go with Sean Setters and "Samara in the falling down barn". i really like the lighting
in the landscape category i went with Joel Eade and "old school house" . it almost looks haunted , very fitting since Halloween is this week.
i have to give an honorable mention to Andy Stinger and "cul mor" the way the cloud looks like its eating the mountain ant the sun trying to peak through. perfect example of being at the right place at the right time !
thanks for letting me choose this weeks pics , it was quite a challenge. im working on getting quality images like i see posted here. im not there yet but im workin on it lol.

Congrats to the winners. Very worthy selections.

Thanks for the recognition Stuart:o

Congrats guys... well done.
