    1. Kedi-Gato for 'Canna'. Fantastic burst of colour. Looks like a way-out sixties painting.

    2. Victoria for 'Up Close and Personal'. Again, the colour is fab.

    3. Aesculus for 'Rose Ruffles'. Lovely, 'textured' shot which makes you want to reach out and touch.

    Rather late in voting due to being away from home for the past month, but here goes -

    1 - Woo - Raindrops A beautiful, cool and delicate photo. Perfectly sharp too
    2- Victora - Up Close.... Just a very attractive photo. I'd hang it on my wall
    3 - Gogs - Violet A very pleasing composition

    Have to say that there were loads of super entries and I've found it very difficult to pick out just three.
