Hi All
Many thanks to those who voted for me and to the other people who took part for providing such a high standard of competition (especially Thorgrim who I still think should not have withdrawn his entry). I regard it as a privilege to be involved with a site such as this and hope that further competitions will encourage more people to improve their photographical skills.
The shot itself was pre-planned in that I knew snow was coming and so read everything I could on taking Winter shots. The pose by my wife Caroline, was spur of the moment and she appears to be looking at the peak and thinking "How the "£$%^&*" am I going to get up there ?" As it turned out we didn't get there and took four and a half hours to walk less than four miles, sometimes up to our knees in snow.
Finally, anyone who has not been to this area, GO. There are 6 accepted (archaeologically speaking) circles in an area 6x4 miles, plus loads of single stones, rows, cairns, alignments and probably quite a few indiscovered sites in an area that has not been disturbed in hundreds of years.
So..... "Yes Ug. I know your Welsh great-uncle UgiUgiUgiOyOyOy used to live there so please don't disturb me ..eh.. was this chalice gold or wood .. with whiskey in you say.. COMING."
Thanks again folks..gotta go !
