I don't think we have ever had so many entries before.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY

And I for one ain't voting for a few days. I shall think about it for a while. Too many good photos.

Throw your cameras in the bin, your making this too hard

Wow! I agree, this will take a bit of thinking about. There are several which could get my vote.........

I've voted but wasn't Jason going to change the voting system?

Theres too many! Can't we have either more than one vote or split it into rounds?

Jason seem to be pretty busy just now. I'm sure when he has worked out a new voting system he will let us know.

Wow! I am blown away by this month's standard.

I thought early on going through them now that the one at night at Heuston was going to be the winner for me, but then I've also lined up about 9 other potential winners for my vote!

Certainly would agree we've never had this many before in a POTM. As for my vote, I really cannot decide on one winner out of my list of 10 potential winners right now. I shall come back later in the week and cast my vote.

What we could do is split the month the month into three. Have a vote for pics taken from 1st to 11th, another for 12th to 21st and a third for 22nd to 30th/31st. The winner from each vote could then have a run-off to determine 1,2 and 3. Just a suggestion...

Well done, everybody. That was a very difficult decision.

There's definitely some great shots this month! Looking forward to next year's calendar already!

I have finally gone for Iains FGW HST at Dawlish. Thanks guys for making this a very difficult decision , but what swayed it for me was that this was a nice seaside, summery, Holiday shot.

Definitely a difficult one to call! One vote each for six different pics. I have still not voted, it is really difficult to make a single choice.

Dave that is exactly what happens sometimes. After the first round of votes a few photos may emerge as favourites then a tiebreak will decide between them. As it stands 6 photos have one vote each. If this was to be how the vote ends up then these six would go into a tiebreak. I know it is a hard decision but at the end of the day it's up to you to decide on which photo you like the best. Of course you have another option, if you cannot decide then you do not need to vote.
