Not many entries this time unfortunately, but the voting was fairly conclusive, so well done.

Now it's your choice as to what the next theme is, Bertie. Please PM me with your proposal by the end of the month ( and I'll nag you if you don't! )

[Peter Butler]

Not unexpected and well worth the award, congratulations.

[BertieB]

Thanks very much! I usually get ‘nul points’ and I’m dead chuffed.

Very well done. A delightful picture that I personally thought it met the theme perfectly

I'm afraid that I have to declare myself the winner of the Dec 2023 Gallery with my picture of A Rural Backwater. Thank you to all who entered and also thank you to all who voted subsequently.
I'll put my thinking cap on and announce the next theme asap.

I voted for yours Rik, wonderful photo, but Philip's moss wins every time...
It was a very tough choice.

[Phil.P]

So much of a 'rural backwater', it has gone back in time, two years!

I agree with all comments. A well deserved winner, that's a photo that could go on a calendar and be proud of it to be seen by hundreds of people.

I would buy the calendar if it was on it.

I would buy the calendar if it was on it.

There's an idea. Official GRF calendar! So would I.

It would be difficult for us to distribute calendars to forum members but there's no reason why you couldn't download the photos and make your own. There are dozens of websites which offer calendar making services for quite reasonable prices. I've used BonusPrint a few times to create calendars and bespoke photo albums for friends and family members and can attest to their quality and reliability of service. However, there are plenty of equally good alternatives.

Well done Peter and commiserations to Aaron who was only one vote behind Peter.

Peter, please PM me with your theme for the next Gallery asap.

[Peter Butler]

Wow.... that was a close one!... Many thanks to all who voted for me and I also send commiserations to Aaron for trailing by just one vote. That is a wonderful structure Aaron and I would not have been disappointed to lose to you for that entry.
I will now try to think of a suitable subject for the next one.

[FWLR]

Well deserved Peter.
