    1st Strongy's - April Gold.

    Sublime use of colour and light. The dark backdrop does maximum justice to the subject. A beautiful, unusual flower. The light positively dances on the petals. A rare and beautifully crafted photo. :)

    2nd Snappers - Acer the rain has stopped now.

    Those beautiful raindrops weighing down that delicate foliage - almost like it is bowing its head in sorrow. And what a lovely colour! An exotic oriental beauty. :)

    3rd WOOs - Three's a Crowd

    Deeply dark and mysterious gives these tulips a mood I've never associated with them before. Moody and an unusual colouring to these makes it a great composition, with much interest. Clever photo to do manually and pull it off. :)
