    Beautiful photographs .... difficult as usual but I have decided on ...

    1st .... Getafix .... The Bridge (I can imagine being there, something I would photograph ... I loved it the moment I saw it)

    2nd ... Ace of Spades ... Woodland Footpath (just makes you think of winter I guess when you don't have one and I could picture myself wandering there)

    3rd ... Ked-Gato ... End of the Winter Season No 4 ... (crisp, clean, cold and beautiful, excellent photography)

    Good luck everyone.
