This lovely photo is so well composed with the flower facing downwards and gently fanning out. The water drops add to the composition suggesting a recent rain. Sharpness and exposure are spot on, while the artistic merit shows a sensitivity to nature. Beautifully done, and congratulations on 2nd Place in Close-Ups of Nature!
This amazing photo captivated me at first glance. The wasp is pin sharp, while the blurred wings and legs suggest movement and the wide aperture gently blurs everything else. It is such an artistic photo I would be happy to have it framed on a wall. Congratulations on First Place in Close-Ups of Nature!

Summer means sunflowers and this one just opening holds the promise of a lazy summer day. The flower head is pin sharp and the soft lighting gives it a lovely glow. It draws the viewer in and gives hope for a summer to come with fields of flowers. Beautiful, and congratulations on 5th Place in Close-Ups of Nature!
