A few of your favourite things - in photos

How do we know?

Well, we asked the question! We posted a challenge in our Press Camera Club for members to send in photos of their favourite things.

Each month, we set members a themed photo challenge and the winner receives a £50 cash prize.

The theme for May was #FavouriteThings.

We had a whole host of fantastic entries and it was incredibly hard to pick a winner.

Barney Sharratt's incredible photo of a dandelion against a brilliant blue sky with seeds floating off towards the moon is outstanding, and was a very close runner-up this month.

As was Jess Clark's up-close-and-personal shot of a cow licking its lips! Very a-moo-sing!

Andrew Biggs posted a set of images from the Isle of Skye that were moody and picturesque in equal measure and spoke of travel - something most of us have missed this past year.

But this month's winner is Lynnette Cammidge for her photo of one of her favourite things: a red kite. In this winning photo, Lynnette has captured the bird in full flight, its expansive wings filling the whole frame.

Many congratulations - a worthy winner indeed.

And well done also to our other finalists:

Joy Stead who posted a tempting photo of an ice-cream van on the North Yorkshire Moors and added: "Well it would be rude not to especially with the nice weather we’re having".

Donna Davies carried on the culinary theme with an inviting shot of tea and scone on a sunny day - note Donna likes her jam before the cream!

Matthew Fawcett gave us a stunning vista over Robin Hood's Bay - just by the fish and chip shop half way down the steps to the fishing village.

Lisa Young also took us to the coast and provided a bird's-eye view over a sunny Scarborough.

Anne Howard Webb loves the elegance of a mute swan - and posted a stunning photo of one reflected on the water.

Rob Cole took us to one of his favourite places, Brimham Rocks, capturing the popular spot under an atmospheric sky.
