discreet Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Tricky! These are all really good. I've noticed an exponential improvement in composition and production skills these last few months, so well done to everyone and kudos to all for taking the time and trouble to produce an entry. I really must try to enter next month. Edited April 24, 2015 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirchTree Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I really loved some of these pieces, very polished and emotive. Good luck to all who entered! c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Can I vote for Lowdown three times? Wonderfully put together as always but I think you have surpassed yourself this time, Garry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm confused. The post says March's composition challenge, and the image isn't the "Funk" image that I thought it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1429870261' post='2755730'] Can I vote for Lowdown three times? Wonderfully put together as always but I think you have surpassed yourself this time, Garry.. [/quote] Agreed.... Well done lowdown. Excellent entry this month. I surmise from your submission that you are a single unemployed male, noone else would have the time to achieve such perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive work all... nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirchTree Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 A surprisingly tight vote between some members! Congratulations to all once more!
