October 2006 Photo Competition ..... VOTES

As always, fantastic photos!! Wish i'd done the hat thing MF, it would have been easier!

1st- Hornbeam's Venus's mealo - for lots of reasons....beautiful colours, pinpoint sharpness, carnivores are my fav, the title made me chuckle,and i actually feel sadness for the dying iridescent fly! Fantastic photo!

2nd- Strongy's Entaurea gymnocarpa - brilliant, cold but soft, blue grey colours. Its as if you're in the fortress of solitude!


3rd - Pete's - Iresine herbstii - again colour and texture fab, makes me taste and smell beetroot. i could eat it all up.
