'Pics of the Month, November 2013' - RESULTS

This post, 8th January 2014, is dedicated to the winners of the November 2013 competition. Congratulations to Jeff Nicholls, Alan Rigby and Barry Rigby for their successes. There will be no winners for December as  there were not enough pictures posted. With that in mind I am now compiling the overall winners - Picture of the year entries will be shown in the next post; best Winwick photographer overall and best Alternatives photographer overall will also be named in the next post. I have a few pics from January to add also.

Unless there are strong objections there will be no competitions next year - the blog will revert to its previous and original format, simply providing a forum for photographers.
