Challenge #5 - THREES
I have found in my own photography that I like compositions that include three elements... I call this "threeness". I'm challenging you to submit a well composed, interesting image who's primary focus (subject) is three of something - anything.

Great entries guys. :D I have had a difficult time choosing!

The winner is...... Chris's (AirBrontosaurus) Three's Company.

I do love macro. ;) This image has great balance, interesting subjects and fabulous color! I also like the shape of the crop, the perspective it was taken from and the juxtiposition of the flies on whatever yucky thing they are nibbling. It's a winner for me. :)

Contratularions Chris - the next one's yours. ;)
