Bouquets of Flowers

This photo says 'I'm going to celebrate spring, no matter what!' The centrally placed bouquet makes its mark against the dismal grey and stark white of Ol' Man Winter trying to hang on a little longer. In this environment, the bouquet symbolizes the coming of spring, even if it is momentarily on a smaller scale. Well done!

Not only is this a beautiful bouquet, but it is beautifully framed. While bold backgrounds can distract from the focal point, this orange-y dress works to frame the bouquet. It also compliments the dark roses with similar colored centers, and is a contrast to the greenery surrounding the bouquet. The photographer has tastefully blurred the background so that the bouquet pops. Well done!

To me, this bouquet speaks of romance. I love it's softness, its pastel coloring and simple structure. The focus on the two central roses immediately draws the eye the pale green colors of the outside petals, and then further on the seeded stems along side it. A beautifully simple bouquet that speaks volumes. Congratulations to the photographer for the winning image!

I love that this group of flowers and greenery is not the 'typical' bouquet. The wooden branches frame the bouquet, as well as wind through it, creating a unique focal point. The photographer has chosen to highlight the central twigs and a small selection of roses, while the darker parts create the mood. If I were naming this image, I would call it "Dark Romance" as it produces an air of mystery and passion. Well done!
