There's a surprisingly high proportion of photos, of varying vintages, taken along the Settle & Carlisle this week.

My vote is for number 19, although I like both of the S&C class 108 shots, 10 and 21, too, and there are a couple of other noteworthy images as well.

#19 is awesome.

valenta · 1st July 2012, 19:42

19 is very good, but for me the sense of motion coupled with the contrast of colours between the Grand Central livery and the backdrop in number 14 clinches it.

Temple Meads · 2nd July 2012, 00:10

Some truly fantastic shots here, best selection for a long time.

Will take a while to decide I think

Ivo · 2nd July 2012, 01:09

#19 really is something else. A truly spectacular shot with a clear subject and a fantastic contrasting background...

...on a related note, why did I bother entering?

I have to agree on both counts there

(i.e. why did i bother entering too!). Although that is an amazing picture!

I don't think mine is going to do too well, it was just a quick snap before our train was announced

NY Yankee · 3rd July 2012, 17:51

7 and 12 are the only ones better than the one I submitted (which isn't 19).

Hmm. This post was brought to my attention, as it is raising some eyebrows! Anyway it's subjective, so everyone will have different opinions, and we'll agree to disagree

7, 9, 10 and 19 are all something a bit 'different' which is something I always look for. I'll wait until I see a better quality image (I am using a mobile connection at the moment) before I decide!

(and no I've no idea who uploaded which picture, although you've effectively given yours away in the description combined with your username!)

I guess we will see come Sunday but there are a few more I'd consider are better.

Teaboy1 · 4th July 2012, 04:37

No19 very good, like the background but opted for no 10 .... just like the simpleness and the perspective in the zoom, a real 3 second shot to prepare and get it in the can, no margin for error! A 1987 special shot of film I guess not digital. Sums up S&C.
