    :flag:Well here are my votes... These have been the hardest decisions I have made this year I think..... :flag: So here we go from the Marley house.. These are the ones that rocked our boat this year... :thmb:

    1st... Woo... Solitary.... Yes it is solitary, but instead of being cold the sepia gives it such warmth & friendliness, it transforms it for me..

    2nd... Dave W... In Focus... This to be spoke perfection for that month.. Focally pleasing..!

    This last vote has had me in torture, but my final decision is this...

    3rd... Getafix... Taking off... Nothing like Nature's perfection... A fantastic shot capturing all the movement..!!

    :help: I do have to say though that Pals spectacular Watercolour!! Was the one battling for my 3rd place, so after a family vote Getafix won out.... Sorry Pal..:luv:

    :thmb: Soooo.... Good Luck everyone..!! :thmb:

    This is so difficult, as Ive spent a lot of time trying to decide. I feel guilty for not picking others also. Unfortunatley its 3 only. So.........

    1st....Dave W.................Rainbow sunrise. If i saw this picture for sale I'd buy it!!!

    2nd....Woo..............Solitary. I love the feeling of secrecy about this one. I find it very appealing.

    3rd.....Paladin...........Water colour. The quirkyness of this gives it a double whammy!!!

    1st YoungdaisyDee... Perfect.. (because it is!)

    2nd Lyn... My Garden... (The essence of GC for me - and beautifully composed)

    3rd Woo... Bluebell Wood.. (hauntingly beautiful and a reminder that this white stuff is not here forever :))

    So very hard to choose. So many more brilliant ones for so many different reasons.

    1st ... Getafix ... Taking Off (one of the most stunning photos I have ever seen)

    2nd ... Capney ... Village Pond (so nostalgic, I just love it)

    3rd ... Pal ... Water Colour (easy on the eyes and lovely to look at)

    Sorry everyone else, this was difficult and I applaud everyone who made it to the final.
