Two photos both 'only' got two votes each, but have finishes joint second, but which one deserves to be Junes runner up?

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to guess which one I voted for (hint: it wasn't the 47...)

And I'm sure hammy can guess which way I voted - and it wasn't for anything with a pair of 6's in the class designation!

Both good photos though........

Remember we should be voting for the overall photo, not just the subject!

A good photograph of a Pendolino is always better than an out of focus, with someones head in the way picture of a Deltic on the mainline.

An odd example, but I think you get medrift!

Got your drift alright, can just imagine such a photo...

I've voted for the 66 at Barnetby in this one. Nice and colourful, like the huge numbers of semaphores which seems to frame the loco and its trains fairly well.

I do like the one of the 47, but the Barnetby one looks better to me. With my vote, it's now 4 votes for the 66.

Yes, I know.

Barnetby photos are unlikely ever to get votes from me, though, unless they really knock the other entries into the shade - I work through Barnetby so often that any shot of the place is automatically "nothing special" to me.

It's a bit like someone putting a photo taken in your street up against a photo of somewhere you'd never seen (or hadn't been for years) - the latter photo is immediately at an advantage.

Anyway, I was only winding up a certain rodent. Cool
