    Wow ..... What a task, took ages to work out the results, but here goes (if there are any mistakes, let me know). Remember 5 points for 1st, 3 for 2nd and 1 point for 3rd.


    Charlie's Hover Fly - 1 - 5 - 3 - 5 = 14
    Charlie's Ladybird - 5 - 1 - 3 - 1 = 10
    Nik's Dragonfly - 5 - 3 - 1 - 5 - 1 - 5 = 20
    Pete's Butterfly - 3 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 5 - 1 - 3 - 5 = 28
    Pete's Frog - 3 - 5 - 5 - 1 - 5 = 19
    Steveb's Squirrel - 1 - 5 - 3 = 9
    Steveb's Bluetit - 1 = 1
    Nathan's Spider - 3 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 3 = 17
    Nathan's Catepillar - 1 = 1
    Rich's Bunny - 1 = 1
    Rich's Garya - 5 = 5
    Michaelmas' Pussy - 1 - 3 = 4
    Marley's Fairies - 1 - 5 - 1 = 7
    Fran's Bee - 3 = 3
    Fran's Ants - 5 = 5
    Marley's Hebe Hover Fly - 1 - 1 - 1 - 5 - 5 = 13
    Marley's Frog - 1 = 1
    Bayleaf's Pansy - 3 = 3
    Bayleaf's Water Feature - 3 = 3


    So 1st postion goes to :-

    Pete2255
    with 28 points for the picture of the Peacock Butterfly.

    2nd goes to :-

    Nik
    with 20 points for the Dragonfly picture

    3rd goes to :-

    Pete2255
    (again :eek: ) with 19 points for the Frog picture.


    Well done to all those who were involved, let's hope Septembers is as good.


    And Pete, I think your camera should be taken away from you ;) .


    Nathan.

    :D "WELL DONE" everyone, :D it was a good competition. :D
    Let's see what we can all do this month. :confused:
    Trying to remember to take my camera around with me is b****y annoying sometimes, as you always see the best when you don't have it with you. Never mind. ;)
    Happy snapping everyone. :cool: :D

    Many congratulations to those that won - interestingly 1st and 2nd place both got 3 1st place votes but the deciding factor was in the number of 2nd place votes. Equally Nathan's spider got only one 1st place vote but all the rest of his votes were for 2nd place pushing him into 4th place - I think what I'm trying to say is that the 5,3,1 point system works! - However it obviously gives Nathan a lot more work!

    Then I realised Marley has subtitled the photo! [​IMG]
