    :) OK here are my votes.. I found it very hard to choose these 3 too...

    1st... Getafix... Exposure... Just love the complete picture.. Roses are so photographic....

    2nd... Postcard from Portugal..... Somewhere I would love to be... Love the emptiness of the beach.. So inviting....
    3rd... Dave W... Hellebore... The beauty & stillness captured there.. Hellibores are a favourite of mine too..!!!

    :dh: That was so hard as I was also very torn by Woo's Timeless & Alana's Amaryllis... Fantastic photos everyone...!

    1 - Marley - Foggy Chestnut. The delicacy of this really struck me, it's almost like a sketch and I'd be very happy to see it hung on a wall

    2 - Victoria - Postcard from Portugal. Could be the influence of OUR weather, but I'd be very happy right now looking at that photo in a frame in my study. Very well balanced foreground/mid/distance

    3- Alana - Amarylis. Beaut of a photo enhanced by some very well chosen and executed bordering
