    Took me a while to decide on some of my favourites but here we go. I know it's more than five but I had such a great year, photography wise.

    Brilliant. Just brilliant. I absolutely love the rose, gannet, puffin ... all of them really. Some really great photography. Best pics ive seen on this thread anyway
