Tough choice...
Tough choice indeed, three really excellent finalists. Well done all three of you.

As for cropping pics, I hate doing that after the fact so do it rarely, I crop through the viewfinder before taking the picture.
Steve...
Wow, that's quite impressive! I'm just the opposite & crop nearly all the photos I take, in fact I've got more crops than an arable farmer.
I consider my post shot processing minimal, but it usually consists of cropping, levels, shadow/highlight (it was Steve who put me onto that one), unsharp mask and maybe the clone stamp or spot healing tool to get rid of any unsightly marks. I've also tried using curves, but can't seem to get to grips with it.
I don't mind looking at photos that have been messed with to a greater degree though, there's definitely some clever stuff out there.
Each to their own etc.

Sunday morning 'Vide Grenier', Luc Sur Mer, Normandie. Today 09/07/2006
I'm loving it Cory, wish I was there!
Finepix - the duckling shot is a cracker, Nice one!
My potd(taken 3 or 4 weeks ago), Missed the boat.

Long range, full digi and converter..about 2,400 mm !
Den, after two years of feeding niger seed I've finally encouraged Goldfinches into our garden - unlike yours, this was taken at close range (600mm) in the back garden just a few days ago.

Our faithfull friend Oliver (with master HellBelly) who was taken to the Vet just two days ago. It was more distressing than when my father passed away because he had no knowledge of what was about to happen. This photo was taken just a few weeks ago so you can see how happy and healthy he looked which made it all that much harder. Even while waiting in the car for everyone to leave so we could go in, a man approached us and said, "He looks just like my dog, but mine is on his last legs". He would not have said that if he thought Olly looked the same way, which he was quite literally, he could no longer walk. He was 13. He could not have been any more loved. R.I.P. OLLY
Tracy& Hellbelly - So sorry to hear about the loss of your dog Oliver. I'm not a dog owner, but am aware how closely attached you can get to one and it's such a loss when they leave you. Given the loving way you talk about him, I'm sure Oliver cherished all of his 13 years in your custody.

Great shots Lardy, I love the little ladybird thingies, a belting shot.
I think I got a shot of your spider a couple of weeks ago: -

A couple of recent macro shots

Hey cameraman, you've picked the exact same three I would've gone for. Trouble is they are all so good I can't decide which one to vote for, so I'm gonna mull it over for a while, although I'm open to bribes!
Good luck to the three finalists & well done to all who entered.

Cracking shot Ayjay!

Nice shots. I liked the sparrow best
I agree with Dan, some crackers there & the sparrow is the pick of the bunch!

I went out macro'ing earlier today. It's not easy as the slightest movement screws up the shot, this was about my best.

Got the card marked for tomorrow, a short afternoon fishing trip, see if we can winkle a few bass from the Stour?? Sound like its still a bit like hard work, but we will see.
Glad to hear Hazel is doing well, my best wishes are with both of you.
Make sure you take the camera for that fishing trip of yours, your audience awaits.

Well done Frantic, an unusual shot & worthy winner!
Looking forward to having a stab at your challenge now. 
Tubularbelle - re yours & HB's waterwheels, I definitely prefer the second one where you can see the lawn etc, you get a better sense of perspective & that is one big old waterwheel.
-
Excellent shots CM & I agree, it's a crying shame they've been left to rot.
There's certainly some history rusting away in that scrap yard.
-
That is one damn fine tench, in fact it's probably 10x's bigger than my biggest, so I think i must have caught a tenth rather than a tench. Looks a cracking location too, good luck this weekend.
-
Just look how the greenery has come on all of a sudden.
I know, it's daylight shrubbery.
Can't wait to see the little 'uns, can't you give her a poke with a stick so we can see what's underneath?
Thanks for keeping us posted Ferret.

I think you may have been casting the wrong way
, I bet you didn't catch many, the water's behind you.Well your missus nailed the shot, but what's Greg Norman doing there, although take the hat off & it could be Craig Stadler
Glad you both enjoyed your day out & I hope hazel is still doing well?
Cracking reel shot from your kit lens there.

Excellent shots Jaybee - you big girls blouse.
I particularly like the side on angle you've taken the scabious & knapweed from.

I like 'em all Ollie, but the first two are terrific. Really well photographed, makes me feel like I'm there.

I remember both these photos from when they were originally posted.
Both fine shots & well done Steve & Den for getting your photos published.
