    do I just do my vote here?

    1st Redstar floating lillies 5points - love the colour, the composition, the tranquility, beautiful
    2nd Lyn Clematis 3points - the sort of photo I would LOVE to take, love the contrasting shades nature has provided in 1 flower
    3rd Lyn Blue delph 1point - found choosing 3rd hard but I like the shade of blue and the water droplets give it another dimension
