Wow! I'm dead chuffed now - thanks Gary
Well done to the other winners, a number of those entries were among my favorites.

This looks like a crop rather than a shot from an XPan or another long format camera — although Chris may put me straight.

Your quite correct Gary, it is a crop. The original conforms to the rule of thirds. I have a "Rule of Thirds" grid enabled on my camera's screen so most of my photography tends to follow this "rule"!

Perhaps its time I turned that feature off and forget about the rules altogether
