I don't know why I haven't updated you on this previously but in the six weeks leading up to Christmas I ran a photographic competition on the Landscape Juice Network.
Just as it was last year there was strong interest; and why wouldn't it be with a Canon G12 Powershot digital camera up for grabs?
The images uploaded by members were of excellent quality and it really was a big ask to single out just one image...but it had to be done.
I'd originally intended to choose just 10 finalists but the quality of all of the images was so high I eventually settled on twelve.
In the end it was Matt Gilbert with Swincombe Valley (above) who took the coveted prize.
Now last year that would have been the end of the matter for another twelve months but for a rather compelling suggestion by Juliet.
Juliet said: "What a great selection of 12 pictures...you could make a calendar to rival the countryfile one!"
It must have been fate that had played a hand when I raised the number to twelve images so I asked members what they thought and, hey presto, we now have a 2013 LJN calendar.
Members started receiving theirs yesterday (I haven't got mine yet) and the feedback so far has been very positive.
There are just 4 copies left if you'd like one?
