This topic did what I wanted. It gave me a wide variety of images. Of course that made it much harder to choose my favorites. Thanks to all the participants for the great images.

The honorable mentions, in no particular order:


Jola Dziubinska - Sedona Red Rocks


luxun54 - Tulips


Jeff B. - Venice Carnival

Third Place:

Jarek M - Unnamed Plant - I really liked the detail in this one. I thought the water really added to the image.

Second Place:

Walter Otto Koenig - June 17 Photo of the Day - Wonderful image of a red blossom on a dark green background.

First Place:

David Decroix - In Sydney Botanic Gardens - I just kept coming back to this image. The striking contrast of red and green. Something about the shadows that produced the darker green areas gave me a feeling of motion.

Thanks again to all the participants. It was really hard to choose among all the great images.

Thank you so much Allen! As you said your topic yielded some great entries.
I will organise the next challenge ASAP.

All the best,
Dave
