1st place ★★★ with *{{3/3*}} -- ~~~~

2nd place ★★★ with *{{2/3*}} -- ~~~~

3rd place ★★★ with *{{1/3*}} -- ~~~~

Highly commended ♥ with *{{0/3*}} -- ~~~~

In the interests of fairness, please try to review the images without looking to see who the photographer was and without looking at the current votes. That way, all the images get the same chance for your attention.
