    Very difficult decisions, as usual.:gnthb:

    1. In Free Flight - Lynn. Beautifully captured shot. Exactly as the title says.
    2. Aloe Aloe - Victoria. I can feel the peace just by looking at the photo.
    3. Friends - Ivory. Thought provoking - what more can you say.

    Veeery difficult. Lots of nice pics this month!

    1) Marley - growth of nature. Wonderful texture to the subject, a small wonder of nature, and lime green + burnt carmine is one of my very favourite colour combinations.

    2)Dave W - Helleborus Niger, just lovely, and I adore white flowers

    3) Lyn - Kookaburra makes me smile he looks so cross, lol.

    Blooming difficult this month as the range of subjects was so diverse, but that's my fault for not setting a specific subject:scratch:

    1 - Aloe - Aloe, Victoria Well composed, beautiful colour and a clever title. It also made me very jealous. No muddy wellies there!

    2 - I Want to Break Free, Marley Another well composed photo with the tree branches framing the subject. Like the cool colours

    3 - In Free Flight, Lyn Not the sharpest maybe, but a very well caught snapshot:gnthb:
