January 2015 Photo Comp - UK Exclusive Scenery

[BanannaMan]

Thanks for the votes last month!

So to start the New Year off, some lovely scenery from the UK, with a twist.
The exclusive bit:
Your pic can be of any type scenery, places, people, things, landmarks, etc. but
needs to be obviously and instantly identifiable as being in the UK.

Here's an example.
(Taken from an orger's garden in Wiltshire)

The thatched roof cottages along with the landscape make this pic easily recognizable as being in Blighty.

I'll hold off on other examples so's not to kill off anyone's ideas but should be simples.
Let's see your Exclusively UK pics!

An early submission from me.

I must have loads of English countryside images etc, but thought I'd try some architecture. Taken a while ago, I hadn't gone looking for the shot, the building just happened to be on my way.
Taken on a phone, as almost all my photos have been for a couple of years. There has been some colour and focus changing, again all on a phone with free software.

It couldn't possibly be in the UK because that bright yellow thing was in the sky.

Somewhere in Wales. No filters, no Photoshop, just a lovely day out on the bikes.

Just a note to say last entry is midnight tomorrow.
I'm sure I'm supposed to pay more attention or something but I'll try to work out what I need to do :smt073 :)

Whitby Abby, or what's left of it.

Well the vote off begins! After much deliberation (some great pictures this month) couldn't believe I didn't get chance to compete, just had no time and didn't want to submit an older one. Might still try for one to post in the photo a day thread.

Richie gets my vote this month! I'd stood in the same spot on two different occasions and not got a picture half as good as that and it is hard to deny its UK credentials.

Honourable mentions to maviczap and Keith_D as they are great shots that I wish I'd taken (as usual there are more but I try to limit myself to 3, helps me whittle down my top choice.

[maviczap]

Dave20046 for me, I just like the way the light is in the photo, but it was bleedy difficult

[admin]

Lph for me

[Red ones]

LPH

[carelesschucca]

Richie, great photo, that fits the brief 100% no hiding its in the UK. A lot of the photos are great but could be anywhere (even my own for that matter)

[Geodude]

Maviczap

[keith_d]

Maviczap gets my vote, though I'd like a slight crop on the right to get rid of the distracting vegitation.

[andrewsmith]

DaveNumbers

[pookie]

LPH .. what a fantastic naturally vibrant shot. This month has served up some superb pictures from everyone.

[Bibio]

Richie, great photo, that fits the brief 100% no hiding its in the UK. A lot of the photos are great but could be anywhere (even my own for that matter)

yup, as much as i think LPH's is fantastic my vote will be Richie as there is no mistaken that it is London.

[Richie]

Admin for me, loving the Red white and blue of the sky :)

[Ch00]

Dave numbers for me

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Dave numbers just pips LPH imo (all great pics).

[chris8886]

carelesschucca, LPH, Richie for me this month...

[BanannaMan]

So many stunning photo's this month, it was really hard to choose.

After a couple of days of consideration, Admin gets my vote.
Closely followed by Dave numbers and Richie.

Well done by all. =D> :notworthy:

[Kenzie]

Mav this month, very British.

[Luckypants]

Dave numbers

[Shawthing]

Dave numbers , and second place to Richie.

[Dave20046]

Redones for me, richie second (do we need a 3rd?)

[Amadeus]

Wow - probably the most difficult month so far in my opinion.

My vote goes to Carelesschucca.

[Brettus]

Sorry Amadeus your vote was after the cut off. (thankfully it wouldn't have changed the result so we're all good :))

This months winner is Dave20046, please step forward to claim your congratulations and internet points :)
And if you could think of a new topic for this month we'd all appreciate it muchly!

[admin]

Well done Dave and well deserved.
