For those that couldn't see the first upload. For the eagle-eyed, there was a little (fake) bird, flower and note attached to the right arm of the bench, in memory of someone. It was signed from their Mum, Dad and brother. Very sad. I'm half-tempted to find out who they are and send them this photo.

My votes:

1st: @Lebarque - just a really lovely photo 

2nd: @dhaywood67 - a different take on the theme, and I do love a day at the beach 

3rd: @cj73 - I love the colour of the light, and the atmosphere it creates 

As always, congratulations & thanks to everyone who took part - again, not a single dud

Lebarque

1. @menamestom - Beautuful colours and love the bubbles - I'm a sucker for a sunset

2. @dhayward67 - Love those crazy long legs. Makes me think of War of the worlds or something.

3. @Winny_Pooh - The beams of light are awesome. Love the elation of the swimmer too.

dhaywood67

1. @Jonthangus - Loving the translucent ears

2. @menamestom - the way the liquid colour matches the sky

3. @Lebarque - a toss up between this and Spectrum001. Preferring the balance of colours in Lebarque's.

1st @dhaywood67 ;
With four people (assuming people not a colonising alien race) the whole thing just looks plain weird. Captured just at the right time. 

2nd @menamestom ;
Glass of wine across the sunset. Colours match nicely to give a relaxed feel and well spotted this was a good photo opportunity. 

3rd @Fretwired ;
Kittyfrisk also gave a tree shot, and in the snow too, which would've normally been a deciding factor for me. But as a back-lit pic this just edges it for me and there is a hint of winter in the village behind.

Probably my favourite month so far.


1st - @Winny_Pooh - that horizon line - I could probably use it to open a letter it is so sharp. Would be interested to know if this was actually shot, or whether treated with a tint in post-production

2nd - @Lebarque - lovely atmosphere and calm. Again, would be interested to know if this was actually shot, or whether treated with a tint in post-production

3rd - @menamestom - great colours and silhouette. I would probably have removed the glass (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
