This is such a striking capture. It's literally bursting with colour and draws your eye in immediately. The exposure is also spot-on, perfectly freezing this explosion of colour. This is the type of image you can look at many times and always see something new.

You have made excellent use of the window frame and the texture of the glass to great an interesting and striking image. Your composition is superb and the colours combine well. We especially like the sense of depth in the shot.

Good choice of process, the stark black and white and clear background make this image really stand out

What an incredible moment, perfectly captured. The focus and exposure are spot-on, and we love the way the out of focus tail leads you into the tulip where the mouse sits. This must have been a fleeting moment, so it's a testament to the photographer's skill that they were able to achieve this so perfectly.

We love the colours and soft muted tones in this Tolkien like scene. The way the stream serves as a line guiding the viewer through the frame is also very effective. Many of the images in this competition were shot close-up, and this wider view is an interesting take on the theme.

This image has wonderful, beautiful soft tones, emphasised by a shallow depth of field that falls off from the centre point of the large water drop. The tight composition and fine art feel make this one of our favourite images in the competition.

We love the colours and relative simplicity of this image. Going in very close with a 100mm macro lens and using a wide aperture has resulted in very shallow depth of field with a beautifully blurred background that's the same colour and tone as the main subjects in the foreground.

The photographer of the image they select as the overall winner will be awarded the title Camera Jabber Photographer of the Year 2020.* **Round Four: April 2020**<br> **Flowers and gardens** Most of us may be confined to our houses and flats, but we can still see flowers in our pots and gardens, or take a turn around a local park for our daily exercise. A splash of colour really brings some cheer.

A good level of detail and really beautiful image

Another great image, we really like the dramatic use of light and focus to draw attention in this shot

Amazing colour and use of depth of field, a real eye-catching combination

Stunning highlights and an image that really captures the coming of spring.

A bold and colourful image that has great context. It's an excellent reminder that cities aren't made completely from concrete, glass and tarmac. Your shooting angle is also interesting, suggesting that the tulips are the same size as the building beyond.

An image with real delicacy,
