Some Very Interesting Images - excellent standard - a LOT of Photo shop used. In my opinion you should see the "picture" before you take it. In saying that, the standard was very good!

Why I chose the winning Image - Teresa Lynch 2 img 6967... it was "punchy" and it been a horrible wet day as seen from the other images it showed to me "Action - Colour & close competition" - in a "jap fest enviroment" and could be used in numerous publications.
