Focus on the Centre of a Flower (in colour)

A lovely sunshine image of the centre of a lotus flower has my vote for 2nd place. It is such a cheerful image. The colours and lighting are beautiful. The various textures are there and the detail of the very centre is lovely and clear. Congratulations and thankyou for entering.

This image is great. It reminds me of little baby birds waiting for their mother to return with food. Its a cheerful image with great detail. The lighting is lovely, lighting up the yellow parts that reflect back onto the centre 'chicks'. It looks like some sort of peony. An interesting image which I am pleased to place in my top 10. Congratulations and thankyou for entering.

Thankyou to everyone who entered this contest. I have chosen this image as my first place. I really like the layered effect of the different textures and details from the centre of the flower right out to the soft petals. The detail and colours are lovely. This is a perfect example of seeing a part of the flower that you would not normally notice. A lovely Ranunculus image. Congratulations and thankyou for entering.
