    ( Pause for effect...........)

    First place to LYN.........Juicy Melon
    Good composition-lighting is spot on-love it


    Second place to IVORY..Summer soup still life.
    Looks very composed and I feel a lot effort went into this picture

    Here goes.

    1st - Kedi-Gato A light summer supper
    Very nice lighting and exposure,excellent sharpness throughout.

    2nd - Ivory Summer soup still life.
    Great image and overall layout.This was in first place for a while,but i opted for second as the harsh light on the left was a distraction.

    3rd -GlenW Citrus Delight
    Good image, colour and presentation,but for me,or at least my monitor,too soft.

    Thats it from me.
    Another month full of good images.Lets keep up with it.

    1 - jjdecay "Coming along nicely" I love the backlight, especially in the detail of the stems fuzz, and how elegant the colour rythm is in the left tomato group.

    2 - glenw "Citrus delight" nice macro and colours.

    3 - Whiley "No takey my melon" for sheer smile factor, picture like that, makes my day :D
