    1st Redstar-Tobacco...........really liking the perspective aswell as the colours

    2nd Dee-Ensete leaf unfurling, gorgeous colours, I really enjoy the interesting close up pics

    3rd Getafix-the green and the grey, the silver sheen is well captured.


    All in all, one of the harder months to choose from, I actually liked them all, so difficult to choose.

    2nd. Skyscraper Cordyline Dave W Very architectural image and so uncluttered.

    3rd. Spagetti Junction Woo All those lines and soft colours, I just like it.

    Wonderful set of images, very good luck to all of you.:thmb:

    1 - Woo - Spaghetti Junction. Texture, contrast, colour, pattern and proportion are just great. This I'd happily hang on the wall and it's the type of image that has so much in it that it holds the eye in a search for more undiscovered details. (No sure why but it reminds me of Henri Rousseau's 'Tiger in a Tropical Storm', even though it's nothing like it)

    2 - Youngdaisydee - Enste Leaf Unfolding. Cor. Utterly fascinating. A clever and perceptive capture. Beautiful!

    3 - Marley - Virginia's Blushing. I'm not surprised she's blushing - everyone's staring at her! Very well composed and a lovely contrast between the redish pink and green and dark green background

    1. Redstar, Tobacco. Just love the colours and regularity of form.
    2. Victoria, Pampas. The sunlight is captured beautifully.
    3. High kype, rosette. Crisp and simple, love the colour contrasts.
