If my mum had her way this would have won #17, absolutely gorgeous colours I like it more everytime I see it.

3rd Place, by grompem:
The detail in this shot is amazing, I could look into it for ages.

2nd Place, by kirstenmary:
This is very well done, soft focus is not exactly my cup of tea but the end result justifies it as it just works! Very nice.

1st Place, by chasp:
For me this is the most evocative of all the shots and is what beauty is all about - the still peace of dawn and the mysterious dark waters of the river make me just want to get out on my own with the camera. Very very beautiful!

So, over to chasp for #18! Well done!
