The group will be back in London for a couple more days after the conference trip to Oxford, so perhaps Round 2 will be up there and Round 3, should that seem necessary or appealing, will be back in London, which is of course one of the world's most photographed and photographable cities. We'll see what our two shutterbugs can do with it!<br /><br />Kiss the sky, Geoffrey? See you in Round 2, pal, and we'll see who gets to kiss what.

I'd suggest a run-off, with both contestants advancing to the next round. Howasabout some unexpected, non-trite images of London?

I like the work of both photographers, but I think the Romanticism prize goes to Geoffrey and his image which cements the relationship between the Abbey and Nature. Plus it's kinda acid trippy.Mandynoreply@blogger.com
