    :dh: Well for me, I think this has been the hardest Enhanced comp to try & decide on just three pictures for ages....!!!! Some really brilliant pics everyone..!

    1st.. Capney.. The Village Pond... It has a timeless look to it.. Like a memory does..!!!

    2nd.. Victoria.. Breakwater.. Surreal... Could this be a breakwater on a Blue Planet somewhere in the Cosmos..?:wink:

    3rd.. Gogs... Wild & Wonderful... A simple, but beautiful piece of landscape totally transformed by colour & contrast to leap out at you..!

    Oh this was so hard, Getafix, Woo & roders , your pictures were all brilliant, but as It was so hard to choose & :dh: I couldn't decide, so I am sorry but, I put you all into a hat & these are the 1st 3 in the order I drew them..!!!!

    :thmb: Good Luck everyone..!!

    1st ... capney .... The Village Pond .... (nostalgic, reminded me of my cottage in Bucks)
    2nd ... Marley Farley ... And in The Green Corner (an unique enhancement to a lovely scene)
    3rd ... roders ... Ashness Bridge Cumbria (definitely a picture postcard)

    It was a difficult decision but I found these three, although enhanced very differently to each other, had a sense of calm and serenity about them.

    Found this really hard. Almost like being back in harness again. Decisions, decisions:D
    However I stuck to the "Landscape" criterion when making my choices and came up with -

    1 Marley - Out West

    2 WOO - Easy on The Eyes

    3 Getafix - Rapsfeld

    2nd-Marley-Green Corner
    3rd-Roders-Ashness Bridge.
