You know, upside down reflections are my #1 pick for photo impressionism. This is a beauty. The lily pad reminds me of the full moon.

I've been following your flower shots since before I joined this site. It has been interesting to appreciate your choice of BG/context for your flowers, & the way you use the light. I keep thinking I can recognize your work during voting, but you keep surprising me. So, thanks!

Thanks for the info included in comments, I read it with interest. Also the camera settings. A flower show usually has surprisingly awful lighting & I think it goes un-noticed because our sight can compensate so well for it. Something only a photog would know! This one stood out for me during voting for the combination of low light and color clarity, so I was doubly glad you included PP comments. The square crop works well w/this. I guess it depends on the computer's power but I have learned to crop last. If the image is PP & saved before cropping then I have something to work with if I need a different crop. I have tried to duplicate my PP on the same image so I can crop differently, but I have never been able to do it. Which is wierd, but I have read the same comment from others. Anyway, good job!

This proves the old adage "It's better to be lucky than good." Of course, you had to also Be There, ready. I can't tell you how much I admire the Renaissance light in this, the combination of earth colors & primary colors, the feeling of suspended Action. It's mesmerizing!

Oh! Looks like you got a lucky sunbeam there. I appreciate this for having spent some time w/my camera on the ground trying to get a keeper, & the one I entered got a 5.1, a much higher score than I expected. I love this one for the interesting abstract qualities created by the color & light, & for the sharp detail you managed to capture. IMO it's a difficult subject, in a difficult location (did you get any spider bites?) & often w/difficult light. Good job! I hope yours get a much higher score than mine!

Amazing camera angle that controls the shadows & takes full advantage of some lovely light. The BG bokeh is beautiful. The camera angle & crop work together to create the illusion that this little dogwood blossom is as big as a golf umbrella, giving me a smile & a nice spring feeling.

This is like a mini-vacation, it take me somewhere. At night. Jazz on the wind. Stars. A breeze off the ocean.
