    1. - Heavens Above - JJdecay Superb composition, perfect exposure. Back lighting and direction of gaze of the subjects has resulted in a very powerful and atmospheric image

    2 - Robin Red Breast - Capney A well captured 'moment'. Robin photos don't come much better. You haven't been training that bird have you?:D

    3- Crab Apples - Rhylesgranny Perfect exposure has resulted in a mouth watering image!

    And following on very close behind were - Pheasant Red (Marley), Red Glow (Gogs), Vulpes Vulpes (Whiley). I thought Whiley's 'Amy' was just great, it looked like it was telling a story - such a pity about the squint verticals.

    1. **** apples ready for jelly---Granny ( because I could picture it hanging on a kitchen wall blown up, seems to have the perfect amount of moisture on the apples, color great)
    2. A-maizing shades of red---shiney ( just love the lay out, so beautiful)
    3. Rose---Lyn ( a pretty way of presenting a rose)
