BEST OF THEME

“Floral Reflection” by Clifford Forstadt.

 Brian Crossland had this to say about his choice for Best of Theme:

• Flowers are beautiful things offering many opportunities for lovely images. I find in Clifford’s photo a demonstration not only the beauty of flowers but also of the observation of an opportunity that I, as an amateur, seek to develop.
  
  Admin Note: A really good week. We had 34 entries, the last time we had more than this was in June 2010. Some great photographs enjoyed by our 56 guests who cast a total of 143 votes and gave us a clear winner. The other places were much more closely contested.
  
  
  It looks like we will be going out with a bang with the new theme of “Obscure” everyone seems to be taking to that one and running with it. I am feeling very encouraged. The move to the new site is going well and everyone, so far, seems happy with our efforts, which is very gratifying.
