I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the group I closed out a day early but it was in my mind it was the right day. I only knew it was wrong when I got a message from Franco, I did have another problem my appointments said come back tomorrow. Sorry to those who missed out I will do my best to make sure it does not happen again.

Being ahead of time isn't always a good thing, Steve ;-)

Congratulations to TOZ for the great shot and a well deserved 1st place. It was an exciting selection this time.

Ciao Steve, nessun problema, sai chi non sbaglia? chi non fa mai niente, ciao e buona giornata

Well done the prize winners here, especially Toz for that amazing lightning shot. Look forward to your decision on the next subject. To everybody else, thanks for making this a great fun competition.

Aggiungo anche i miei complimenti a TOZ, Steve Paxton e franco benf, naturalmente anche a tutti gli altri partecipanti, un saluto a tutti con amicizia Bruno

Many congratulations to the four top contestants. Superb photography.

Thank you to every one who voted for my photo and congratulations to brunosma, Steve Paxton, franco benf and everyone who took part. Will post next month's theme tomorrow TOZ

I congratulate the winners. It was a difficult selection because there were many very good competition contributions.

Complimenti al podio ! come sempre tante belle foto

Un saluto al gruppo
