    2) Whirlpool; The subject really draws you into the picture!

    3) Starry Starry Night; Such a simple yet brilliant picture

    1st.....Trunky.....Ice In The Sun.....A clear, crisp shot that depicts winter so well.

    2nd.....Woo.....Early One Morning.....I think this may be the first panoramic shot in GC's competitions. A well focused shot of an unusual scene.

    3rd.....JWK.....This Ole House.....The title is spot on for this lovely shot of a tudor building.

    1st - ryland.j - Reflection - Very good framing and patterns.

    2nd - Sheal - Ice Ice Baby - Simple but fascinating looking at the ice pattern and then through the ice to see what is being obscured

    3rd - Trunky - Ice in the Sun - Very strong shapes and great depth of field too.

    1. Trunky Ice in the Sun
    2. Sheal Sea Song
    3. JWK This ole House

    A great response by everyone, and too difficult to really chose, so I have picked the Mandatory three, could have been thrice over
    So thanks everyone for getting involved and sorry I did not pick you
    Some amazing pics to match the song
