                          1. AB... "Funky Cat"....I love this photo. I'm amazed at how furry it is and love the colours. I keep wanting to go back and look at it.

                          2. Scrungee..."Pair of Common Blues". Fantastic! Really good shot.

                          3. Dips..."Spider Skin". Who'd have thought that scary spiders could be so intricately patterned! Smashing photo.

                            1st.......Marley Farley.......Fairies ready to fly.. ......The macro detail on this shot is amazing.

                            2nd......Scrungee......Pair of Common Blues......Well focused and good detail. A chance subject that is rare.

                            3rd.......Wiseowl......Reaching for the light.....I like the prominent inner parts of this lovely flower, something we rarely take a close look at in our gardens.
