      It's been hard this month to pick a top 3 as there's some cracking photos this time round. Anyway here goes:

      1. Loli........In the Glare of the Sun - I love this shot. It's what Summer is all about. It's a fab composition and I'd defo have this on my wall.

      2. Woo.......A Bridge with a View - Another fab composition. There's plenty to look at in the shot and I'd have this on my wall too!

      3. HsuH......Taking on Rocket Fuel - Another great photo.

      Very difficult to choose and after much thought (and the fact I cannot choose ALL of them)

      1. "Time for Reflection": Sheal
      Definitely one I would hang on my wall.

      2. "The Buzz of Summer": Trunky
      It draws my eye upwards towards the bee

      3. "Royal Poppy": Spruce
      I like the 'angle' of the poppy looking outwards.

        Bearing in mind the competition title......

        1. 'M'.........'Pond-ering'.......A picture that would draw my eyes each time I walked by, a good clear shot.

        2. Loli........'In The Glare Of The Sun'........ I like this, a nice unfussy shot.

        3. Woo.......'A Bridge With A View'.........A busy picture that's just begging for scrutiny each time it's looked at.

        1st Loli "in the glare of the sun" just looks stunning and I could picture that on my wall (one off those shots you just don't know how it came out but struck lucky

        2nd "M" love the structure and the colour thats set it off the sky (simple but so effective)

        3rd Sheal "Cooling down" great action shot so much going on, waves birds and the horses

        lots of others that deserve credit as well

        I was torn which way round these should be but made the decision so well done to all who entered :dbgrtmb: :dbgrtmb: :dbgrtmb:

        1st Loli In the glare of the sun (It is very difficult to shoot into the sun so had to give credit to this shot)
        2nd Ilkley Gardeners One of my roses in my garden (Love the detail on the rose totally in focus)
        3rd Stronglodon One of my turns Turns (This one I like too for detail came third for me due to subject in centre of shot. Thats just my view of course I am still learning mind you so well done all three.) :dbgrtmb: :dbgrtmb: :dbgrtmb:

          1.Sheal............Time for Reflection...... The anonymity of the subject and their hidden thought's make this image outstanding for me almost perfection.

          2.Spruce..........Royal Poppy.............great pastel colour's almost could be a water colour.

          3.Loli.............In the glare of the Sun........excellent image,lovely lighting,almost transparent

          These top 3 image were very difficult to separate it was just down to my personal choice
          I would have all three on my walls just in different rooms;)

          1) Sheal "Time for reflection" . Emotive title for a great photo

          2) Loli " In the glare of the sun" .Whether capturing this shot was down to skill or pure luck doesn't matter. It's great and would make a lovely picture to gaze at in the depths of Winter.

          3) HsuH "Taking on rocket fuel". Love the colour harmony and the fine detail of the insect.
