Very sorry for the delay in getting the results announced for the 2011 competition 😞

However, am happy to be able to post them up now :)

As the entries and the standard of entries improve year on year the voting gets even more difficult; so before continuing onto the winners I just wanted to say a big thankyou to everybody who entered for submitting so many excellent shots, and I hope everybody agrees the winners are a deserving bunch amongst a very high standard all round.

So, onto the winners...
