    Hope I'm not too late to vote, I've just found this thread. Great photos everyone.

    1st - Dave W - Pupil Revealed - I like the composition, and the clarity of focus on the eye with the slightly blurred beak.

    2nd - Victoria - Loveable Pussycat - Like the unusal perspective on this one.

    3rd - Alana - Ladybird on Apple Blossom - Good composition and nice sharp colours.

    Jo : )
