Wow JOC. Great effort to put this lot together. I'm hoping it's going to increase the traffic flow and get some votes in

Thanks,

Dave.

I don't actually think you need to grade them - just pick out the one you like the best ?

...and thanks to your efforts, I hope people will do.  Well done for taking the time to put this together, something the organisers didn’t have by their own admission.  Perhaps this competition will now get the response these images deserve.
