Apologies for the only fashionably late poll this month, instead of the non-existant one last.

Please cast your eyes over this months photos. As usual some lovely entries, should be another tough one.

this poll will run for 7 days, as promised

Ive got a shortlist of 3, and dont know what to do!

All three are completely different. 1 is well composed and clever, 1 is dramatic and opportunistic (my favourite type of photography), and the final choice shows the power of water through the landscape


mmmmmm.... and I've got work to do today as well :roll:
:lol:

When I saw the brief I immediately thought that the water should be a feature rather than a backdrop. For this reason I am drawn to sinnerman and zigzag although I really like the tilt shift effect of wtb rider.

I am voting sinnerman

Zigzags for me :) I'm probably a bit biased since I was there but its one of the only ones that dosen't appear to be just a bike plonked next to a body of water. Saying that I do like WTB's tiltshift effort , it was using tiltshift that I won POTM once. And as well as all that there are some lovely bikes on show 8)

it ain't a proper wet ride until you do what Zigzags photo perfectly displays! the fatter the tyre the better in my opinion too! :P

i was tempted by the tilt shift until i got to zigzags - i liked the effect as i scrolled down to reveal more of the image too...

Zigzag for me - that's what this whole business of putting bikes together should be about. :)

Hard, hard, hard......

ones that really caught my eye.....

Makster for the effect,
Nader for the monochrome shot, really nice..look at the leaves on the trees.
Fluffy chicken...really british pic, especially in summer.

But in the end, Rio or Zigzag? Art or action? Relaxation or tension? Yin or Yang?

Need divine help, or a random selector tool to choose this month :?
