Regardless, I had an incredibly tough job. With 4 pages of outstanding entries, this was never going to be easy. I judged the photo's based on what I felt to be the most eyecatching, whether it seemed technically good, and creativity. With those criteria in mind, here are what I felt are the winners.
3rd place
Earthling, with Zantedeschia - A nice shot, somewhat abstract, and the square frame worked really nicely.

2nd Place
Rene Hales with Stargazer. Creative, especially the use of the polaroid transfer. Very eyecatching.

Winner
Expat, with Rose. An outstnading photo. Great use of the square frame, focus and exposure are spot on. My congratulations!
