Right then chaps, this was NOT an easy decision to make.I've spent a long time going through the entries. All the pictures were of equally high quality....though I think too many of you are getting mesmerised by spinning flywheels:-) In the words of young Mr. Grace 'You've all done very well'
In FIRST place is Gary Millwards' superbly atmospheric shot of his big Lister N type driving a sawbench. The only possible improvement would have been to move the 'Morris' sign out of the picture...it always pays to look twice through the viwfinder before pressing the button!
In SECOND place is John Dungans' picture of the twin sideshaft Crossley ,taken at the Clonroche Steam Rally. Nicely framed, the lettering on the magneto is in focus,and a well chosen shutter speed just gives some movement to the governors and cam shaft. An excellent effort.
In THIRD place is the entry from Steve 'The Wild Eye' for his 'Out of Reach' I'm sure we've all been in the position of being able to see an engine and yet for some reason being unable to do anything about it...I think this picture sums up the frustration very well.
