Guess the Station that has been visited by Michael Portillo competition has been relaunched, hopefully it's a little easier this time! See [thread=80201]here[/thread] for more details!

Haha, I'd not spotted that! Ivo may yet have a chance :)

Oh thanks :lol:

[bad loser mood]

So we've had three compos so far, and I've lost two on a tie-break (one after the real winner declined the prize) <(

Someone/something doesn't want me to win.

I genuinely feel sorry for you, just missing out on multiple occasions. :)

If it is I won't win unless something unlikely happens :(

Something like a criterion of "357s at Shoeburyness" might work, but otherwise I have no chance - my all-time POTW best in about 30 attempts is 2nd!

I enjoy POTW, I never win the competition though, I just keep trying, the problem is Ivo, people who live up near the highlands of scotland can get beautiful shots without trying.

I think the catagory should be photo's taken by Ivo.

That is true, but it's an imperfection that we can't do anything about. On the flip side, the proportion os people up there is very low, making participiation of a person in such a position far less likely. And many of us have been to the Highlands (or at least the Highland Main Line) anyway.

And yet, at least one person has won this competition before he even turned 16 - with a super basic camera at that!

Something tells me I would still lose :lol:
