Our panel of expert judges have deliberated and have narrowed down the field to their top 10 favourite photos for September...now it's over to you.

Photos, like music, can be such a personal experience and what makes a brilliant pic for one person can be over-looked by another.

This month's shortlist holds great variety from a great variety of photographers, so have your say on your favourite and see who will win the Most Popular Photo category. Voting closes on Wednesday 10 October.

From this list the judges have chosen their top three to take out the podium places in the Best Photo Competition, and these winners will be announced at the end of next week.

As always, we thank our judges; Ben and Cath from Sass Studios, Perrin Clarke from Imagebank Australia, and Ali George from Catseye Productions.

The fantastic prizes up for grabs each month are generously provided by Garricks Camera House, Imagebank Australia, and Coles Supermarket Port Douglas. We encourage you to support these businesses who have shown support for the Best Photo Competition.

Entries for October are now being accepted so send in your best to editor@thenewsport.com.au.
