The theme: Ring out the old, ring in the new
Winner: Alastair McKee
Runners-up: Lee Jane Hawkes, Mike Clark, Paul Hawkes
The judge’s comments
This month, our photographers were inspired by the stunning skies over Burton as well as a perennial sight to be found across the Cotswolds, that of the dry stone wall.
Alastair’s photograph of St Mary’s bell tower against a new dawn captured the essence of the month’s theme.
In the runners-up, Mike’s photo of new coping on an old stone wall has great character. Then we have two cinematic views. One from Paul with a Burton on the Serengeti evening, and the other by Lee Jane and her sublime new dawn which evoked Scarlett O’Hara’s ‘As God is my witness’ speech.

Such a difficult choice, Sue. Stunning photos, all of them, but the winner managed to meet the brief and also make a great composition.
