Wow, chuffed to make the short list. Although I doubt I'll win, face paint and the city centre doesn't really scream autumn...
I think the shortlist should be scrapped, as there are some poor ones in there, and Sir Chris Hoy should be allowed to pick from the whole list. Does everyone agree?
Likewise chuffed to have made the list (#2), let alone have a few votes of confidence. It's an amateur bike ride piccy contest, FFS. You'd think it was deciding the fate of a nation the bleating that's going on.
FYI the photo was taken on the road between Preston Candover and Upper Wield, Hampshire - one of my favourite parts of the county. 1hr from London and you hardly ever see a car on this ride. iPhone5, 'composed' and shot on the go. http://www.strava.com/activities/87242142
Any of you Londonneurs out there, allow me to pimp Whitchurch, Hampshire as a great stepping-off point for rides: great pubs, a cafe, Co-Op/Tesco, 55 minutes from Waterloo. You can go south toward Winchester, down the Test Valley, or up into the 'Hampshire Highlands' for more hills than your poxy North/South Downs can muster
Here's about a bajillion routes starting/finishing here: http://my.viewranger.com/user/details/221
the terms and conditions of the competition certainly don't agree
Maybe all the cry-babies and whingers could collect their tears and make a salt sculpture of their favourite Autumn scene?
Whitchurch is indeed a good stop-off, ridden through a few times.
Good luck to everyone on the shortlist, some great shots there.
that number 16 one is nice. thought it looked familiar though.

was it entered by a Mr Luke MacGregor? there doesn't appear to be one in the shortlist, although some of the names are pretty cryptic
Great to be on the shortlist and good luck to everyone who made it this far! Please don't forget that we are only road cyclists, not photographers! Saying that, I took Picture No.10 of two mates of mine cycling behind me - not easy that, and I nearly ended up in a ditch. OK, so that doesn't make me Don McCullin, but I guess I was prepared to suffer for my art!
Mine is picture 4
Contrary to some of the comments, it hasn't been put through a filter or been pimped up in Instagram.
I took it on a Sony NEX-5 on a tripod balanced on a picnic bench, somewhere near the Slovakian / Hungarian border. It was just one of those mornings where the light was perfect, we had been wild camping so were awake nice and early to capture the sun rise.
I don't expect it to win, as some of the others are better shots, however it always reminds me of the trip and certainly captures the Autumn morning.
She's nearly finished, Record groupo set up, SLR's on, just black saddle to source. Really pleased with result, rolls wonderfully on the new hoops!

Hmmm..... picture 16 is one of TWO pictures entered by darranmoore. Are the rules being ignored here?
Are you that desperate to win? Feeling threatened? I am delighted to have been shortlisted not that I was seeking that. I shared my 2 favourite photos not to win the prize but to celebrate the theme of Autumn having just enjoyed one of the best cycling holidays ever the previous week. I hope others have enjoyed my image(s)
Good luck tomorrow on your photo, I think you also captured something special from this changeable time of year.
Great photo, my particular favourite from the shortlist, from a fellow finalist
Yes darrenmoore, I do want to win. I didn't share my photo for the love of cycling and the joy of sharing or I would have done that on the appropriate forum and sprinkled fairy dust and love on it. Its a competition for £1000 worth of bike!
I am number 5 and have only just come back to look how I did, simply took a screen shot from the video output of my GoPro that I had got for my birthday a few days prior. Wasn't exactly trying to be artistic, just trying to capture the blur of the leaves as I rode through. I didn't win so don't worry, but do feel your comments are unnecessary. I'm just at uni and enjoy a bike ride, maybe you just need to see there's more to life than abusing other people who have done better than you; I don't know what picture you submitted, I'm sure it was well taken on a nice camera and summed up perfectly what you thought autumn is, but obviously there were only 20 photos that were shortlisted, sorry you weren't one of them but it wasn't the fault of anyone of the other users
