    I had no idea this was going to be so difficult!

    1. Dave W - A Morning Warming (I just love it!)

    2. Glen W - Darkness Returns (Brilliant interpretation, and rich colour)

    3. Hornbeam - Out of the Waterlogged Darkness (Appreciate all the dimensions - the tiny ripples make it special!)

    (Have to mention the others on my shortlist - BM Midnight Jungle, Platanoides In Reflective Mood, Petal Angelica, Kandy floss Peeping through and Shiney Let the Light Shine In.)

    Great competition! [​IMG]

    A difficult subject to photograph this month but what a superb and varied selection of interpretations.

    I knew early on that it would be difficult selecting from the great pics but not this difficult.

    Well done to everyone. Shame I have to choose ---- anyhow here goes,

    1. Marge 'Little White lanterns'
    2. Petel 'Angelica'
    3. Mona Lisa ' Eiffel By Night'. A great picture before it disappeared from the page.

    Just got back in time to vote but nearly changed my mind about voting because it is so hard to choose! Everyone deserves a commendation.

    If I look back over the photos I might change my mind again, so here goes.

    1st:- Jarbax Jewels in the Compost
    2nd:- Kandy Darkness into Light
    3rd:- roders Morning has Broken

    Great work everyone - roll on the February competition.
