WINNER OF OCTOBERS PoTM


 


 


I had the long hard task of deciding a winner from the 9 fantastic entries in the October PoTM. I must say it was a difficult task and every photo bought something different to the table but one photo kept drawing me back, it had something different that I just cannot put my finger on.


 


So congratulations to StuartJPP for his lovely M45 photo.


 


You are now the first of 12 entrants into the EMS Photo of the Year competition.
