Collection of pics entered into the first ever Cromarty Image Library photo competition. We've had 130 entries, of which we've published 36 on the site. Some of those which we haven't published deserve to be on the site, but are perhaps too similar to ones already there.The winners have been chosen by a vote of Plexus Media employees, and are as follows.thumb #1244 Winner: Nora Watson - Watchers on the Rocks.All four of us at Plexus individually chose this as our favourite, and from the comments left on the page, many of you felt the same.
