    1st. Spericals getting betterâ?¦ Capney. This is an amazing image, I love the domed effect it implies.
    2nd. I got there firstâ?¦ Marley Farley. This is a striking natural garden image, I like itâ?¦
    3rd. Sunflowersâ?¦. Getafix. A beautiful flower study that springs out of the picture.

    Good luck all of you...:thmb:

    Oh, decisions, descisions! I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony - so much to chose from:D My first two I've found particulary difficult to separate and my third was a choice between three.

    1 - Woo - More of the Same Brilliantly executed. I didn't realise it had been tiled until I read the description! A really beautiful scene to look in to

    2- Marley - I Got There First Really unusual. Incredible detail. Science fiction stuff

    3- Victoria - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Abstract effect works extremely well. Lovely image

    And so close that I was almost flipping a coin were Treesurfer's 'Woodland Fern' and Getafix's 'Sunflowers'.
