    1- Piering into the past - I like the moodiness and an "outside the box" subject matter
    2- Ye Olde Scythe - Powerful image, again, quite moody
    3- Bride's Door - I like the light and warm tones of the brick and wood

    1st: Stephenprudence "Piering into the Past" - a striking composition with the still repetition of the wooden posts together with the motion of the sea - time both stands still and is in constant movement.

    2nd: Kindredspirit "Ye Olde Scythe" - incredible light. Visions of the grim reaper contrasted against such a calm, peaceful backdrop.

    3rd: Kindredspirit "Ye Olde Raeke" - a thoughtful presentation of a beautiful tool.
