Wow what a fantastic selection of pics. I'm convinced I dont want to win another one of these as judging this is quite a mission. Perhaps I should have picked a different topic!
Heres a few that didnt quite make the top 3 but are super shots and would have won if I didnt stick a pin in the thread somewhere else..
crmcatee - fantastic, I assume zooming whilst shooting, always good fun and with amazing results here.

moribund - I expectd some light trails and this is the best on the thread love the framing and flare. I'm a sucker for flare..

paul_phillpot - great use of a long shutter
Dibby Dobbler - great use of shutter speeds here, enough to keepo the hoverfly sharp but just the right amount of blur in the wings.

D4VE 3LL -Great long exposure landscape , pauls is fantastic too but doesnt make quite as much use of the shutter speed as this shot.
OK so I will indulge myself with a top 4..
4th - baz7175 - Loved Baz's uglyworld shots for a long time, this must have been a touch tricky to execute!

3rd - Dogsey - love the B&W treatment here and the super long shutter speed really makes it, taken with welding glass too! Foliage is still very crisp and the detail keeps be coming back for more. An unusual framing for a long exposure water shot. This should be printed and framed!
Misty Water - B&W by dogsey, on Flickr
2nd - MrMacro - What to say? fantastic capture, wonder how many shots it took to get? Bursting soap bubbles are a little old hat (and silky water isnt?) but this one is executed superbly , timing is to perfection and has so much detail.
And the winner ...
andy-xr - Fantastic portrait! The absolute control of the shutter speed , lighting and model combine for a top class portrait here. Well done! I dont envy you next month..
