January 2007 Photo Competition ............. VOTES

This has been very difficult here goes.

First --- Shiney. Let the light shine in.

Second --- Roders. Morning has broken.

Third --- Hornbeam. First light

 

Very difficult to judge because of the very wide interpretations of the theme. Some are very tenous and as this is a gardening forum, I've tended to go for photos that feature gardens or plants.

1st Midnight Jungle by BM - Right on the button for interpretation of the theme and a brilliant picture of mystery and magic.

2nd Out of Poverty by Rosa - Great photo-journalism and those eyes are unforgettable

3rd Jewel in the Compost by Jarbax - Most unusual shot and the camera must have been put into the bin! The mushroom cap is pin sharp too.

I also really like Strongy's "Baileys" and Roder's "Morning".

 

Extra difficult this month picking just three and even more difficult assigning an order to them. I've gone for the ones that really made me think "wow" and that I'd be happy to hang on the wall.

1st - Roders - Morning has Broken
2nd - GlenW - Water Hawthorn
3rd - Strongylodon - Nightime Baileys

Pretty closely followed by -
Hornbeam - Out of the (Waterlogged) Darkness
Petal - Angelica
Wildflower - Squirrels
Marge - Little White Lanterns

Well done entrants it was really interesting seeing the interpretations.

 

Oooh this is hard - there are some excellent images

1. Roders - Morning has broken - the tree silhouettes are glorious against the morning sun.

2. Marge - Little White Lanterns - simple and beautiful

3. Dave W - Blue Tit - this has the aah factor

 

Very difficult especially as their are so many variations to the theme..I like them all !! :D

1st...A morning warming ..Dave w

2nd...Hornbeams..out of the water logged darkness..

3rd...Shiney..rescued from the dark..

 

Yes, this was a very difficult decision!

1. Morning has Broken RODERS
Just such a lovely photograph and I would love to hang it on my wall

2. Angelica PETAL
Colour is amazing

3. Back Garden View WILDFLOWER
The colour of the sky is fantastic and I like the silhouetted trees and shrubs

 

I could look forever but that would not achieve anything so I'm going for what I found the most striking ...

1st "darkness retuns" by glenw
