    1.Woo.........."My Cherry Plum Tree." A lovely photo. I like the way the Spring sunshine is lighting up the flowers.

    2. JFo........"Spring's Blossom." Just beautiful.

    3. Roders......"Early Pink Clematis." Another lovely photo. I'm going to have to buy one!

    1 - JFo - Spring Blossom. Very well composed, out of focus background helps focus attention on the main subject and still maintains context.
    2- Marley - Moss Side. Clever use of close-up/macro highlights something we tend to overlook.
    3- WOO - Hi-ya-cinth. Nice crisp shot.

    1st.....Woo......My cherry plum tree.....The colours are wonderful in this shot as if they've come straight from the palette, a great shot!

    2nd......Yvonne Donnellon.....Reaching Out....The joy of a new leaf unfolding. This shot has an almost 3D feel about it.

    3rd.....Woo......Sun Burst.....A lovely clear shot and I like all the detail that stands out on the bud.
