Whatever the result of the 2015 Summer Competition, the standard of the entries is quite astonishing. I'm sure that at least fifteen of the pix would have easily won the competition five years ago. Pity the poor judges having to sort that lot out...

Wonderful!

I'm delighted to be on the podium, particularly when bearing in mind some of the outstanding entries. Even outside those listed as being in the mix, there are some belters. Congratulations to all, but particularly Goldenorfe. On this occasion I think the winner was clear from an early stage in the competition.

Thanks, as always, to the judges.

BWs, Neil
