3rd place
Light trails on M66 by stylo

Tootles: I think this is brilliant! I sat for a while looking at the thumbnail, thinking "is that one of Chris's?" I decided it wasn't, but it was! That will teach me. :-P

It takes courage to stand in the road like that, but this is a spectacular shot.

4th place
Breaking the Rules by Dunstickin

bfrank: Congrats Bob. You placed fourth but could have easily won I thought.

koca: Nice entry, Bob. Good luck.

Pistos: What I like is that it breaks rules while keeping them in more subtle ways. The tall grass on the left and the grey clouds cause the image to be broken 1/3 to 2/3 in the vertical direction. The tops of the people's heads plus the blue sky/cloud line roughly falls on the 1/3 line. Nice results. It is because the rules are broken that the image traps the eye, such as the subjects not being large in the picture, and yet because of subtlety, the picture remains pleasing to the eye, so you continue looking.

5th place
Broken Rules by Ramad

corngrowth: ---too much sky---

Think that this 'maritime pigeon' won't agree with you, Raj, because much sky is very helpful to it for a proper take-off, ☺ .
Good entry for the current contest however.
Good Luck with it, my friend!
