The texture effects that you have applied to this image work extremely well. The composition and subject are very simple but you've elevated the image with your processing. This is an image that is crying out to be printed on good quality paper!

This is a very carefully arranged flat lay with an attractive mix of colours as well as well-chosen flower and petal shapes. You've also recognised when to stop and you've not overcrowded the scene with too many flowers or stems. Well done.

What a wonderfully atmospheric image! You timed this shot perfectly with regards to the sunrise and the mist, as well as the stage of the bluebells. The inclusion of the walker adds a sense of scale and gives extra focus to the image.

We love your exposure for this image, you've created a very bright, soft and dreamy effect that works very well and conveys a sense of the low spring sun starting to warm the ground and encourage the buds to open.

This is a very striking image that stands out from the crowd. Very few photographers were brave enough to capture spring flowers in black and white rather than colour, but you have done it to superb effect. Your monochrome treatment brings out the details of the petals nicely,

This is a fabulously original take on the theme and it works extremely well. The blue edge created by the bluebell flowers instantly made us think of the earth from space and the trees reaching to the centre of the circle help to underline this.

Cyanotypes can be unpredictable, but this is brilliant executed. The colour combinations work very well with the yellow hinting at the true colour of the flowers and their distinctive form standing out well. This is a very different take on the brief and we love it!

We've seen this image before but that doesn't change our response to it. You have handled the exposure brilliantly and delivered a beautiful, understated image. Converting the image to monochrome enables us to focus on the subtle tones within the petals.

We love everything about this image: the simplicity of the composition, the strong vertical lines, the light. And when you look at the subject, with the butterfly poised on the flower, you realise just how difficult this image was to capture. Well done.

We love this composition. This is a perfect example of an abstract take on this month's theme, and it was framed perfectly, with the stem forming a leading line through the frame. We also love the range of blue tones in this image.

This is a wonderful take on the theme, and on still life in general. The image looks classical in nature, but also clever and contemporary. I love the background, along with the lighting. This is still life photography at its finest!
