The poll is up now.

Very nice 512M.

I really like the angle.

Voted for Syntax Error, the composition, colour balance and lighting are all perfect. It's an absolutely outstanding shot.

BonzoHarry's shot is also a stand out entry, but even in the full size it seems to have been either oversharpened or oversaturated which has made it look a bit too 'busy' for me.

I'd have to agree, thats why I voted for him too. Although I can't understand why Syntax voted for me, it's not that good especially compared to some of the other shots in this competition.

Oh Shoot, I forgot about my flickr version. That version got screwed in the upload process, because I uploaded a copy I saved from another site I uploaded it too and forgot about the crappy image compression.

If you click my thumbnail again (or the following link) you will get the link to the non-compressed image, free of all those jaggies.

That makes a massive difference, it's an even more amazing shot there, the colours are spot on now. 👍

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it. And Speedster, you don't give yourself enough credit. I like the shot, Great colours, simple nice composition... it works for me.
