Agreed, and there are some really nice pictures! I'd vote for:

class 1 : entry 10
class 2 : entry 17
class 3 : entry 16 (or maybe 4)
class 4 : entry 12

Wonderful stuff, Cliff.  A wide range of subjects and differing views of the subjects..... very nice.

Fascinating plants in fascinating situations.  Wish I could see some of these places in person. 

[Lesley Cox]

In Class 3 - Entry 18, the Anagallis
In Class 4 - Entry 11. I find this one quite difficult as I tend to choose a garden rather than an image, if you see what I mean. If not 11, then 4.

[Lesley Cox]

Thanks for the answer re the Astragalus. I did think of that then discarded it as I thought the flowers didn't look pea-like. No wonder it's one of those "holy grail" plants!

Thanks everyone ... I will post the remaining classes and the results, etc. after our stint in the Dolomites ... hopefully they will be worth the wait?   

[Maggi Young]

We'll look forward to that, Cliff.

Happy holidays!!

( Remind me again... WHAT IS a holiday??)

[David Nicholson]

They are the things you say you don't like Maggi

[Maggi Young]

Oh,  THOSE !  Right.... suitcases, dog-sitters, all that stuff.... Yes, I'm with you now.... or rather NOT, as the case may be! 

[ranunculus]

There are some compensations, Maggi ... views like this and regular Italian ice-cream ...

[Lvandelft]

Thanks everyone ... I will post the remaining classes and the results, etc. after our stint in the Dolomites ... hopefully they will be worth the wait?   

Cliff, you still have some days left THIS year to finish your great job, don't you. But I really don't want to push you too much to do so and hope you will sleep well and long enough during the night. 

Happy New Year,
Luit

My apologies, Luit ... it was my intention to get the other classes posted but computer problems mean I now have no physical record of the classes and winners on my hard drive!  I have images of all the entries but no record of which picture went where or who won what!
I am also in the middle of the time-consuming process of setting up this year's contest and writing a book ... no rest for the very wicked!
Sue and I send you both our very best wishes for 2011 and may we wish computer stability for everyone?

[Lvandelft]

Thanks Cliff, I was just wondering why the report was not finished.
BTW, computer problems  , didn't I read somewhere you are using a Mac

I SHOULD have said; 'Computer operator problems', Luit!   

After the competition last year I forgot to do a back-up at the end of the evening and therefore my only completed records are now from the previous year (each new competition fits into a template and a large entry last year meant the evening finished very late and I had to switch off prior to backing up - hence only two entries per exhibitor per class this year).  LOL.

My Mac is NOT to blame in any way ... although it could have saved the back-up without being prompted!
