First: Jerry Fowlds with Sisals

Jerry commented: "Die foto is naby Britstown tydens sonsopkoms geneem. Die Sisal bome het 'n mooi voorgrond geskep vir my gewone windpomp tema! Daar is nog baie windpomp fotos op dieselfde plek geneem! Ek het my Nikon D80 gebruik (sonder ‘n driepoot). "

Second: Cleo in the Mist by Sue Keartland

Sue said "Managing a short walk between 'white outs' on a game farm outside Machadodorp in mid January we were greeted by this scene as we returned to the house in the early evening. While I was trying to capture the effect of the mist on the dam my friends' dog got in on the act and made the scene complete by providing just the right focal point. Within minutes it was too dark to continue.  ( ISO100:1/10 @ f/8: exp comp -2: 23mm)"

And in the third place was Glenda Braithwaite with Flame Lily. 

She said "Flame lilies are very difficult to photo in their natural environment due to the fact
that the flower itself is not compact and the background tends to interfere even if it is
out of focus. For this reason I used a plain black background which would also compliment the flowers colours.
 
The shot was taken late afternoon using natural light. (Shutter speed 1.3 using a tripod, Aperture 16 ISO 320.)"
