Thanks for the votes everyone, this was not taken at the same event as the 2nd placed shot, but at a small track and field meet here in the UK. As soon as I saw the girl hurdler I thought darn it why did mine not look into the camera.

Perfect, I would expect a very high placing with this. Excellent focus and DOF with a great expression on her face. 10

I'm pleased with a 19th place, I knew it was shoehorn in to the challenge, but the only shoots I had taken in the challenge week. The Robin was very tame and it did feel like he was posing as this was shot at 55mm.

Thanks for the comments and to all who voted.

Thanks Lutchenko, I think you right, not many British voter on here who would know about this type of engine or style of rail painting.

Funny thing is I have a shot from the same weekend very near identical to the 2nd placed one but did not want to have just another steam loco.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I don't really have anyone old to take a portrait of at the moment, and I came up with this after visiting the cemetery on Christmas day, while looking for something different for a Christmas photo.

jjstager2 your spot on with the comment about moving to get more of her legs.

Anyway very pleased with 17 for a portrait with no face.

My best result by a long way, so thanks for voting.
The boat is beached on the rivers edge at Fleetwood along with several other wrecks,but I thought this was the better image of the ones I took. I don't know why they have all been abandoned.
