congratulatons Jon, yet another total cracker!

Also to Ash and Ryan - 2 more stunning images - we may not have had a massive number of entries in December, but the quality of shots certainly made up for it :thumbs: I think everyone who managed to get an entry in, for any of the months, all year deserves a :clap: to be honest - and a big vote of thanks as always to everyone who took the time to vote as well!

Thanks Mark! So when are the total year polls on your site updated? :D

[Lisa]

Congrats to the winners!!

For me this has been my personal best month for votes, thanks to those that did!

[jollyjack]

Thank you everyone, it was a hard month with a lot of fantastic images which has been seen by the large vote totals everyone was getting this month and a big thankyou for everyone that gave me their vote.

Well done Ash and Ryan both were fantastic images, and i expected either one to have been the winner this month. A big well done to everyboby else that got a image submitted this month.

Ash - I always make a point of not rushing the final figures - I tend to go through things 3 different ways and make sure that the figures come out the same each time before I trust them. Also - as with last year, I'm hoping to do a breakdown for people who didn't enter every month - so for example - if you entered only 5 months, you can see how you compared against the other people who entered 5 months... bit more number crunching, but it went down well last year :)

Oh wow ok, no worries, I'm just impatient :lol: Thanks - I'll keep a look out!

cheers Graham, though in fairness, the leaderboard is a trifling amount of work compared to the graft that Marc has been doing month in-month out setting up the entry threads, polls and results - plus (I now realise) quite a massivve amount of stuff behind the scenes - all I do is a few sums and put the results on screen (eventually) for everyone...

So - I'd also like to pass on my own heartfelt :thankyou: for all the hard work in running and organising the competition Marc - the POTY has been pretty much the only thing that's kept my photography ticking over this year.
