Beautiful! I can see scales on the fish and ripples on the water's surface, but the light in the water quickly dissipates into darkness. Really cool use of low key.

Well, apparently I was WAY out of step with the mainstream on this one! Too bad; I still like it.

Simple but very well done. That's got to be a miniscule buglet!

Nicely done! It's not easy to find the right angle to show off a group of flowers without it feeling too busy. Like the light, too.

Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta)

Funny, I don't call these Bluebells. We have Virginia Bluebells here which are an entirely different plant. I always call these Wood Hyacinths (I have some in my garden) but I've seen several called Bluebells in this challenge.

Which says nothing about your image ;-) So ... nicely composed to show off the individual flowers on the stalk and hint at more in the field behind the flower, nice colors and gentle light.

Fabulous structure to this flower! Is that ironweed? Looks like it, but could be a cornflower. I tend to mix them up ;-)

I love dogwoods! The open, airy shape of the trees, the way the blooms are spread out when the tree is in the shade, the soft beauty of the flowers. Not ever gaudy. Finding them on a spring walk in the woods is always such a delight. I think you captured that feeling here :-)

Excellent isolation of the one flower and repetitive patterns in the background. Showing off the individual and the group at the same time.
