The winner for December is Leaf Curves by Val Walker. Val was staying at a Biological Station in Costa Rica just before pandemic travel restrictions came into force. She came across this plant and was fascinated by the shapes and textures of its leaves. She experimented with blending modes and changing colours and applied a 'wave' distort filter, varying amplitude and wavelength until she was satisfied with the composition.

Second was Ball of Fire by William Wilson LRPS and third was Ballet by Paul Bather ARPS.
