Can I please ask, especially Mark and Nick if you can add what cameras your all using to take these pictures. Not as a rule but for educational purposes. I've added to mine and I would wager most of the entries will similarly be taken with a phone rather than a 'proper' camera. (Which will be something else that will piss Foxy off.) In my case it was a Google Pixel 2. Thanks. It does look that way.

I do have a 'proper' camera, a Sony a300 DSLR, which I tend to take out especially to take photos but like most people nowadays most spontaneous pictures will be captured on a phone.

Photos taken with our iPhones tend to look much better than those taken with my DSLR. Only time a proper camera is any use is if you want a telephoto lens shot.

Yes, we are all David Baileys these days with our iPads and phones with cracked screens because we put them in our back pockets to look trendy then sat on 'em.

Your problem is Foxy that if people didn't annotate their pictures with what they were taken with in most cases you wouldn't be able to tell which ones were taken with a phone and which one with a camera. I like my DSLR because it allows me to experiment when I want to, but it's big and heavy when compared to my phone. Equally I like my Google Pixel phone because I can just whip it out my pocket and grab a shot that I would probably have missed with my DSLR, probably because I didn't have it with me. I then just let Mr. or Mrs. Google do all the processing. It's also massively convenient to have my images automatically upload to Google photos so that they can be viewed anywhere on any of my devices. Both concepts have a place in photography and neither is totally superior when all factors are taken into account. People who mock camera phones and their users are just 'photo snobs'.

No... that is not what I meant at all. Equipment does not make one a good photographer. Neither does just grabbing something easily with a phone camera.
Of course you can take good pics with a phone camera - if you are clever. Or just lucky. Or perhaps just quick.
You may recall my "That was a great meal, you must have some expensive pots and pans" quip?

I don't believe this is an actual photo competition ... rather just all of us submitting a snap we've taken in the year, to be judged purely on popularity not photographic quality.
It's just a bit of fun surely.
