Re: May 2023 - Taken with a phone (or tablet)

I think I now have everyone's entries safely in Lightroom to try and make my decision a bit easier - most images are the full size version available by clicking on correct location in forum not the image that appears in forum posts apart from a couple that didn't seem to have larger images available...
