    1) Autumn Sunset - Simply stunning, I want to be there
    2) East Cliff Dorset - wow, the colour and light in this is amazing
    3) Anyone For Conkers - I love the warmth of the colours, especially the conkers.

    I'm a sucker for colour!

    Lots of lovely photos to choose from again...so difficult to pick but here's my top 3:

    1. Sheal..........."You did say autumn colours." Love the colours and it's a different twist on the theme. I love the way his feathers match the leaves on the ground. Great shot.

    2. Bilbo......"Anyone for conkers". It just wouldn't be autumn without conkers...lovely rich brown tones and a lovely composition.

    3. Dave W....."The Voyageur". I picked this one because to me it represents autumn colours better than the sunset photo as I felt that one could have been a sunset at anytime of year.

      1) it's got to be Sheal's cockerel. What a stunning photo of a magnificent fowl.
      2) Dave W's Autumn Sunset. You've caught a great moment there Dave - awesome...
      3) Bilbo's conkers. Such a lovely Autumn feel to this shot. Bought back memories of bruised knuckles and great wins!

      1 - Bilbo675 - Anyone for Conkers A very well framed composition, I can really imagine the feel and smell of that conker and the leaves.
      2 -
      Sheal - You did say Autumn Colours What a clever shot. As far as colour goes, the rooster don't need no booster!
      3 - Roders - Robin Redbreast A well caught autumnal moment

      1) Bilbo.....Anyone For Conkers...... A clear, well focused shot and conkers are very autumn!

      2) Marley Farley.....In Hiding......A lovely clear shot. Where would we be without the beautiful leaf colours of autumn.

      3) "M"......Pick Me: Autumn Jewels!.....This shot drew me back to look several times, I like it's natural portrayal of late summer/autumn fruit.

      Soooooo difficult this month!

      But, I've got Autumn colours firmly in my mind when choosing:

      1: Bilbo - Anyone for conkers.
      2: Trunky - Fly Agaric
      3: Sheal - You did say Autumn Colours (my chooks have fallen in love and will refuse to lay unless their pinup is in the running)
