I have called it a shortlist but there were a lot of great entries and I found it really hard to decide; in the end I couldn't whittle it down further than seven so, in fact, it is rather a long list!
Below are the ones that made the cut. Thanks to all who participated and submitted great shots. Please vote for your favourite and the winner will have the honour of hosting the next challenge.
Voting closes Friday 31st January (midnight your timezone)
