  Picture of the Month is an article showcasing the best Pictures of the Day from the month before. We take the most viewed photos that were uploaded in the previous month and give you the top 7 more or less...

Another month down, and another selection of amazing shots that have made it into the Picture of the Month. I'd first like to start by clarifying something that gets asked about almost every month. The way the POM works is the photos are ranked by number of views in the month that they're uploaded. It has nothing to do with overall number of view, or when the photo was POD. So if you upload an image on September 30th, and it becomes POD on October 10th, it may have a lot of views in October, but it's only eligible for Septembers POM because that's when it was uploaded. This means that if you have a photo (or a video) that you think has a chance at POM or VOM you should upload it in the first few days of the month, and definitely not at the end of the month. With that said here are the most viewed photos that were uploaded in September...

Unpredictable weather and extreme exposure can turn riding adventures into extreme situations. Knife edging along Rhyd Ddu on Snowdon became rather exciting - Laurence CE - www.laurence-ce.com

 I think the Atherton one in PMB is the POY, it's perfect: eye catching and tells a great story of competition showing the mood of the winning side and the losing side

 theres no fucking photo of Atherton in PMB here dill weed thats Steve Smith
  • 20 3
 you're retarded, first notice the location: PMB now notice how I said the difference between the winning and losing side, at PMB gee and stevie were on the same losing side, second notice how I said the photo tells a story, the shot of stevie does not do that and third scroll over to honorable mentions and click "Gee Atherton in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa"

 ummm that's due to lack of views, the atherton pic is obviously quite a bit better than the steve smith one, it has everything in it while the smith one is just another pinning shot and I know you'll use the number of views argument so look at this: www.pinkbike.com/photo/8223830

 Yes he did - there's also a sequence of the shot which is printed in Freeride magazine's 2014 calendar for example. There's also video and Kirill will use it in one of his next edits!
