AFTER being wowed by your best shots so far this year, we were stunned by your creativity during the month of May.

In the latest round of our competition looking for the best reader photographs to appear in our 2018 calendar, we asked you for shots of the area's best landmarks from a different angle or 'hidden gems'.

The result was a selection of incredibly beautiful and imaginative scenes for you to choose from in our latest vote.

The competition runs throughout this year across our sister titles Northwich Guardian, Wilmslow and Middlewich Guardian, Knutsford Guardian and the Wilmslow Guardian as we search for the best readers' pictures.

Winners will be announced at the end of the year and invited into our new office in Warrington to see the calendar in print as well as the chance to pick up tips from our picture editor Dave Gillespie who has more than 30 years of experience in the field.

Click the gallery above to see this month's shortlist and then vote for your favourite in the ballot below or email your vote to hannah.bargery@nqnw.co.uk before 9am on May 30.

THIS VOTE HAS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR VOTING.

Next week we will launch our search for our June photo of the month.
