Great contest!

A very sharp image that we are immediately drawn to with the fantastic plant spiral. Nice natural complementary colours from nature with a beautiful soft bokeh backdrop with colour tints. The lighting on the bug and plant have a nice graduation. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection

Strong complementary colour and symmetry makes this a striking image. The rustic wall is not a flat colour, it has texture and tone. The simple pattern fills the frame adding to the impact. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

Nice to see an image with human interest among the many birds and flowers. Strong complementary colours in the background and shawl, but also more subtle complementary within the lines of the shawl. Nice DOF with the soft backdrop. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.

Perfect complementary colours in a lighter hue. Great backlighting with complementary gels on a difficult glass subject make this an outstanding image. The three different views of the bottles are arranged in a nice composition and I love how the thick edge of the glass has caught both colours. The graduation of the two colours is spot on. Well done and congratulations on being in my top ten selection.
