I\u2019d like to thank everyone that got into the spirit of the competition. You can view all the entries by going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/2064982@N24\/\">Flickr group page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I looked at all 117 entries very carefully and over the course of a few days I whittled down the number. Whilst it wasn\u2019t a rule I did mention at the competition launch that I was hoping to see new work rather then recycling your old photos. So the first photos I rejected were those which were several years old. That reduced the number a little but with so many amazing photos it all comes down to personal taste (mine in this case), so I selected my favourite photos and the best of those made it into the top 10 as seen below.<\/p>\n<p>This month the winner is\u2026<strong>The Trice &#8211; Bo&#8217;ness Hill Climb Revival 2012<\/strong> By <a title=\"NorthernXposure\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/davidqueenan\/\">NorthernXposure<\/a> which I felt had amazing drama and perfect timing.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Trice - Bo'ness Hill Climb Revival 2012 by NorthernXposure, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/davidqueenan\/8045182647\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\" alt=\"The Trice - Bo'ness Hill Climb Revival 2012\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8038\/8045182647_9749d139a4_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\"><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>NorthenXposure will be getting a copy of his print made by my good friends over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.printyours.co.uk\/\"><strong>Print Yours<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Near Misses\u2026<\/strong> <br \/>The runners up in no particular order are below.
