Painterly Flowers in Colour (no people or animals)

This photo perfectly satisfies the brief including the wow factor. While it maintains the original look of the flower the painterly effect turns it into a piece of art. The backlighting on the petals sculpts the edges and gives the artwork depth. The lines in the background gives the photo a sense of movement. The color palette helps this photo stand out amongst the crowd.
Placing the flower to the side makes an appealing composition. The use of light and shadows brings mystique to this beautiful piece of art. Well done.

The colors in this photo are absolutely beautiful. The aperture setting was perfect for this flower, capturing the stamen/pistils with such clarity and the blurring of the petals is a beautiful compliment. Setting the flower to the side of the photo is an eye catching composition. This photo is a wonderful piece of art. Well done.

What a lovely capture of a beautiful flower. The water droplets add a dimension to the photo and helps to make the 'dreamy' effect. Very nice post production efforts in blurring and fading the outer petals which helps to draw the eye to the center of the flower. The composition of this photo is perfect. Nicely done.

This beautiful photo definitely looks like a painting. The texture and reflection adds a lot of dimension to this photo which is quite lovely. The composition is well placed and fills the frame with color. The complementary colors of the red flower and green background work very well together. Nicely done.

This is a very intriguing photo. The colors are dark and mysterious with the use of light and shadows. You succeeded in meeting the brief and producing a piece of art with the wow factor. The composition is great and really catches the eye. Nicely done.
