Thanks Darren - much appreciated

Tough choices again this week but in the end it was a close call between Soggs and GC - and finally vote went to Soggs - despite the distracting little superglued Ladybird

[goso]

GC outstanding ..............Looks like the tea leaves lied

[soggs]

Cheers Jim Ha ha I'm not Gazza,I don't carry round dead ladybirds to pose in my shots :D

Tough choice this week, it was between Jim and GC for me and in the end I went for Jim, it just edged it with the mixture of colours.

[CFC1]

Good compo again this week, lads!

It came down to GC and Jim's similar efforts this week for me ... with GC just nabbing it. Hard lines Jim and congrats on a very strong entry.

[Prize78]

GC for me too. Jim a close second. Another great week. Keep em coming lads.

[Thunderbird_010]

Jim for me this week liked the close up detail in the leaf and the colours

[GaseousClay]

Nick for me this week, the flash highlight isn't enough of a minus point to detract from an otherwise great shot.

Thanks for the votes so far guys

[Omegadiy]

GC for me this week with Jim and Nick just beaten
