It was a tough call between Winks futuristic image of Melbourne or Peter Stubbs picture of the church roof. I decided to give the award to Wink because of his perfect camera position and exposure/processing. Peter had little option but to center his camera on the circular roof so needed to make one less critical decision. Congratulations to both of you anyway for submitting fine photography.

Excellent choice Matt - that shot of Adam's is a cracker. I'd have chosen it over mine as well. The lighting is spot on, the composition leads the eye through the image and it's razor sharp - what more could you ask for in an image.

Thanks guys!

I've still going to revisit this one and see if I can balance the image out with that light on the LHS. Thanks to Suren for the tip there.

Congratulations Wink, Though what I like most about this image is the way it has generated ideas & suggestions, and not a few "this is what I'd do" posts
