And the winner is…
Thanks to everyone that voted for my photograph. I find it amazing to be voted the winner when there were so many excellent photographs in the shortlist.
We are pleased to announce the winner of the 5th Digital Lightroom competition on the theme of Lead In Lines. As ever, the standard was high and it was difficult for the judges to come up with a shortlist of 10 pictures and I’m sure much harder for you to choose just one.

The winner of the 5th Digital Lightroom competition is:
Al Mackies – Park Lookout

What a splendid shot – it’s not the linear, but the hyperboloid of cloud, horizon, railing and shadow that caught my eye first. How marvelous a geometer is nature.
Brilliant.
