    1st...Sun seeker....Davetherave
    The translucent quality of the petals is beautifully captured.

    2nd...Naylors Ark...Twisted
    A simple but sharp, striking image.

    3rd...Raindrops on Bamboo...Wiseowl
    Lovely vibrant green of the leaves combines well with the clear water droplets.

    1) Raindrops on Bamboo (WOO) Most natural/best pic

    2) Just too vain (davetherave) Only just slightly better than Sun Seeker

    3) Dahlia dinner (joolz68) Again, more natural than the rest of pics.

    1) Twisted; The detail on an unusual subject that has been well caught!

    2) Helipetrum; the photograph catches the crisp, clean detail of the flower.

    3) Sun in the Garden ; the photograph really catches the petal formation.
