2012 Archive - And the Winners are .......
« on: Jul 01, 2011, 10:08 AM »
Thank you for everyone who competed and voted for the May Photo Competition.  The standard of photos submitted was just spectacular.  

We have joint winners for our first competition and as we need to select more than one photo each month for this year's calendar we have decided that they should be joint winners.

An the winners are .........

Highlander -  Final Call to Manhattan
Stowaway 2K - New York January 2008

I will be contacting them to ask them to choose the topics for August and September.  Look out for details of the topic for the July Photo of the Month and the voting poll for the June competition which will be posted later today.

Thank you everyone!   :)
How nice to share the "joint winner" with Highlander, whose company I have enjoyed as a QE2 shipmate on a couple of crossings.

I have PM'd Lynda with a contest topic suggestion.  ;)

CONGRATULATIONS, Ken and Kyle!  :)
These are stunning photos - QE2 in her element - or, in one of them - at least!
and it's generous of you to have shared them with us.

Honored to share the podium with Stowaway2k!  The January 2008 winter crossing was my first crossing in which I was warmly welcomed into the Winter Crossing Club and got my wish to experience QE2 in some decent seas, doing what she was designed to do ( abeit at a slower pace).  It was the best 7 days at sea doing nothing.  ;)

Glad to be sharing the laurels with Adrian and Louis -- a lovely spread of different pictures.
