    More great photos this month and again it's been difficult to pick my favs. After mulling it over here's my top 3...

    1. Woo.........."Many Horizons". I just love the colours in this photo as it shows how beautiful the sky can be.

    2. Trunky...."Storm on the Horizon." A great atmospheric shot. Just looking at it makes me think that there'll be a bolt of lightening at any moment!

    3. Sheal....."Far Horizon." Another great shot.

    Good luck everyone!

    1st........Woo........Many Horizons.......The colours and cloud patterns in this shot are amazing, great photo!

    2nd.......Trunky.......Orwell Sunset......The gentle glow from the sunset drew my eyes over the darkness of the river. Well captured.

    3rd.......Trunky.......Storm On The Horizon........The clouds definitely create the heavy atmosphere of what is coming!

    Some really good entries. I've marked mine based on the theme and how much I liked them. There were some photos I liked just as much but felt strayed too far away from the theme of Horizons so had to be a bit ruthless I'm afraid as it was a difficult call.


    1st. Cjt - Cloudy Horizons (I could have this as my screensaver. A really difficult shot to take having tried it lots in the past. Great contrast, light balance fantastic crisp and clear. Love this kind of photography and he still managed to get the horizon in too)

    2nd. Yvonne - Ness Gardens (Fantastically clear crisp shot with good sky and land contrast and plenty of colour. Perfectly exposed and a all round beautiful panscape shot.

    3rd. Trunky - Storm on the Horizon (You can really feel the atmosphere in this shot. You can almost feel those peaks on top of you. Very haunting. Not quite as clean a shot as my other choices and the tree to the left throws my eye a little and needed taking out of shot hence the 3rd place.

    Good effort everyone and good luck!
