This could well be the end of the tournament for me coming up against GPR! :scared:
Though I suspect George may not be that comfortable with the theme - but to be honest, neither am I. This will be a tough one.

All the best George. 👍

Yeah, not an easy theme in my view. Well, not my forte.

And based on how tight the last round was for me, I'd say you're def in with a shot. After all you're a great photomoder with multiple wins to your name too. ;)

Bet of luck mate. :cheers:
