      1.Sheal....while the Sun shines.....this photo is the the essence of the theme,technically its sharp throughout and it starts with the Hay bales and leads you to the sea:smile:

      2.Loli.......Ripening nicely......can barely separate these 3 photos,brilliant shot,this photo is alive:smile:

      3.Jenny.....A different field of gold,lovely photo the contrast of colours are something special:smile:

      Very difficult to make a decision as in my opinnion each photo is a downright winner:smile:

      1) Sheal While the sun shines - love the title ( make hay ) and that glorious vista beyond

      2) Loli Ripening nicely - A classic country study - love that focus on the barley's texture. So comforting and reassuring

      3) Spruce Fern Dell - Interesting, that shaft of light on the Astilbe through the surrounding darkness - looks mystical.

      1.Fern Dell - Spruce - A beautifully sharp picture - with those lovely ferns who needs flowers?
      2.While the Sun Shines - Sheal - Lovely view - couldn't you just roll the bales down to the sea!
      3.A different field of Gold - Jenny Namaste - An evocative image of the glorious countryside

      As usual it was difficult to make a decision on everyone's images. They are all great captures.

      1st.....Jenny.....New Walk.....Meadows, woodlands, the height of summer, all summed up in one great photo.

      2nd.....Sheal....While the Sun Shines.....Lovely summer scene, with the sea adding an extra dimension.

      3rd.....Lolimac.....Ripening Nicely.....I can almost hear the breeze rustling through those ears of barley.

      1st.....Woo.....Natures Gold........This shot epitomises summer in the fields.

      2nd.....Jenny.....A New Walk.........A nicely balanced and clear picture of a woodland walk.

      Marley.....Maise' in da Maize.........I like this slightly different take on the competition title.

      Great photo's from everyone, good luck! :)

      1st "A different field of gold" nature at her best and with the two shades of blue in the background looks stunning.

      2nd Loli "Ripening Nicely " exact opposite to Jens photo all man made but the bread of life

      3rd and it was a close call with two others is Sheal , "While the sun Shines" captures the 21st Century in farming, no more hay or straw bales , but still makes you look twice beautiful shot.
