    1 - Marley - Memories of The Past A really happy photo with lots going on. What really struck me though was that it reminded me of the type of photo one would see in a 1950s magazine

    2 - Woo - Night Flight A great moment captured and then well enhanced resulting in a very striking composition (If the boat had been a bit less dominant i.e. a bit darker it might have pushed it up my ranking and I'd have had a really hard struggle to decide on my No.1 !)

    3 - Victoria - Meringue Well handled treatment of a 'white' subject, no blown highlights and good 'colour' balance. Quite a striking composition and I liked the dense black curve on the left of the image framing the flower

    1st .... Power Tower ... Woo (as much as I dislike these structures, I find them daunting and this is captured beautifully)

    2nd ... Oliver C was here 1647 ... Will Ting (a lovely subject for the theme)

    3rd ... Memories !! ... Marley Farley (it brings back memories, well executed)

    For me it was clean sweep this month for Woo


    1st power tower Woo-a magnificent composition
    2nd shadows Woo-a really clever picture
    3rd night flight Woo ( again ) Loved how still that boat looked in contrast to the birds launching away
