May 2008 Monthly Photo Competition... Votes..!!!

1: Dave W, Meat and no veg please; just has that WOW factor, nothing else comes close for me

3: Strongylodon, Calla lily; love the simplicity of the image and the contrast of the two main colours.

A really diffcult one!

 

1 - Agaveman - "Perfection" nice composition and wow - what stunning colour - a real eyeful!

2- Kandyfloss - "The Visitor" I hate cats BUT.......

3- JJdecay - "Horrible flying thing" super composition, great use of dof, but nothing more than one would expect from Joe

This I found to be the hardest yet to judge as the entries were so varied in subject matter. I ended up picking the ones that really shouted at me and then running them as a slide show to narrow things down. Close (very close) on the heels of my top three were - Marley, Sea Urchin: Strongy, Mellow Yellow: Alasdair, Bleeding Heart: Alana's Animal,veg,mineral : JJ's Hoverfly: Dorset's Mike's Rosa Complicata and Kedi G's Dragon Fly.
Well done everyone:thumb::thumb:

 

1. Woo ....... Searching for the sun - Sharp and colourful
2. Kedi ........ Tradescantia - such a stunning blue
3. Alasdair ... Bleeding Heart - simplicity

I had to choose these out of a short (?) list of 12, you don't make it easy guys!.
Well done everyone else.
