Is the wired up window to keep the cats out Martin?

Squirrels! After the bird food we store in here.

Ahh yes l didn’t think about squirrels. Smart move Martin.

Mine is in, it's a series of 8 pictures stitched together. I didn't see anything in the rules against it, but I will remove it if. there are any objections.

 

[LeeRatters]

I did take one boxing day which is okay so I've got an entry. I'm just hanging on for a break in the weather the weekend!

Nothing wrong with a stitched composition @Allan.H , could come in useful for next December's theme

Someone has just pointed out that the November league table had an error in its formula for points in November - and that diligence is appreciated. The corrected league table as at end-Nov is below:

A clear winner for December @johnty52 although it was close for a good while. So we have our final standings for the year:



Congratulations @Norkie for a winning and consistent performance through the year, but also very well done to @ajophotog @Allan.H @Nostromo @LeeRatters in particular for strong performances that could easily have pinched it, and to the many others who put in good efforts in many months. I must highlight @johnty52 though who joined late in the year and did so well - one to watch in DPOTY24 I think!

Thanks everyone for joining in, well done whether you entered one month or twelve, please keep having a go in 24. The prize is the pleasure of participating. Cheers.

Well done @Norkie

Thank you for running it @lindsay

Thanks Lindsay and well done Norkie - also Allan, Aj, Nostromo and Lee , it was my first year and really enjoyed the challenge. Just gotta find some Winteriness now

 

[Norkie]

Thank you very much indeed, a most enjoyable challenge. Thank you @lindsay, I know from experience how much work goes on behind the scenes to make it work.

Here to DPOTY24!

Well done @Norkie and everyone else that entered.

Chuffed with my placing. My main aim this year was to submit an entry for the DPOTY and FPOTY every month. Which I done

Me too Lee on all counts, I even managed to do the same shot for each month one on film one on digital, same FL etc. Made it a bit more difficult but hey-ho it was a challenge after all.

Thanks Lindsay, for running this, and congratulations to Norkie.

 

[ajophotog]

Well done Norkie and all those that had entered throughout the year, some super images posted, I've enjoyed looking through them all over the past year.

 

[Peter123]

I've enjoyed this challenge a lot. Thanks Lindsay for the organisation.

Well done to Norkie and everyone else who entered.

 

[wornish]

Well done Norkie. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Big thanks to Lindsay for organising.

 

[Norkie]

Thank you everyone, it’s really appreciated

 

[lindsay]

and thanks from me too, for participating and appreciating the organisation - which I've thoroughly enjoyed, and I hope I can enter myself more than twice this year!

 

[Cloudforest]

Congratulations @Norkie and thanks to @lindsay for organising what has been an enjoyable competition. I aim to try and put a few more entries in this year If l can.

 

[Nostromo]

I've not been around much of late and I would have dearly love to have completed this. But my health has taken a pretty big downhill turn. I won't bore you all with the details, but I have chronic pancreatitis, I generally only have 2-3 pain free days a week. So photography is very limited for me. I'll have to give this challenge a miss for now.
Well done to ask those that took part and of course to the winner @Norkie

 

[ajophotog]

I think you were pretty much uncatchable Dominic before your problems. All the best.

 

[lindsay]

Very sorry to hear that @Nostromo I hope there's a more positive future path for you, we shall miss the challenge within a challenge of pitching images against yours (even though it's not a competition)
