    1: Lyn -- Geranium (actually it's a pelargonium) viewpoint!

    2; Jjdecay -- Face to face -- contrast in sizes

    3: GlenW -- Tree potbound -- placing of subjects plus humour.

    1 - Woo Glass Crossword (the ordinary turned into the extraordinary - super!)

    2 - Lyn Crayons (as might be expected Lyn comes up with a great compostion AGAIN!)

    3 - Brightstar A-Spiring (can't fault this interpretation of the theme)

    Very difficult.

    1) Ace of Spades - Bugs Eye View - really elegant, captures the beauty of the flower so well.
    2) WOO - Corn reels - such lovely lines, they seem to move and shine trogh the picture
    3) GlenW - The potbound tree - Very humourous use of forced perspective principle. I wanted to do one like that of Burg Eltz!

    :) Most difficult for a long time.

    1st.........JJDecay.............Face to Face.

    2nd........Alana.................Casting Long Shadows.

    3rd.........Lyn....................Crayons.

    Glenw..........That tree potbound was certainly a brilliant idea and deserves a big mention.
