That has got to have been the easiest competition so far to vote on. As soon as I saw the photo as I went through the slide show, I knew that would be the one. There was one other, that I thought was very dramatic but it just lost out because the background wasn't as clean as it could have been. Also one or two pretty pretty ones which in other competitions might have won my vote, but eventually I went for sheer drama and menace.

Great photos again. Well done everyone, for getting this far.

EASY????? Floral! What am I missing? They are all so good I've a short list now of 25.

The first one I thought Wow, then got lost as I waded through them. It'll take me ages to vote.

Superb photos. The one I originally liked the best didn't even make it to the final round of 30!

Simply amazing work by all.

WOW! My admiration to the photographers one and all and to the mods who had the difficult task of choosing the 30 photos for us to vote on. Once again, I find that I'm a sucker for a story with the photo even though the photos that were most visually striking were tempting! Thanks to all who submitted. Barbara
