Spring Flowers (in colour)

What a charming still life composition showcasing these muscari, or grape hyacinths. In the spring, those of us who garden are looking forward to digging in the dirt and I love the garden implements and rustic setting. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!

There are so many wonderful entries to this contest, however this single pasque flower stands out. With its pastel colors and tiny water drops, it portrays a unique and delicate early spring bloom. The focus and blurred background perfectly shows the fine hairs that cover this lovely flower which adds to its interest. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on 1st Place in Spring Flowers!

So many tulips were entered in this contest! Clearly it is the spring flower of choice for many of us and this entry is a perfect representation. The bright red and yellow blooms are offset by the green leaves and stems, and showcased against a black background. The diagonal composition leads the eye gently along to enjoy all the details. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!

There were so many entries of bluebells but this one stood out with its graceful composition. The flowers are perfect and the background and vignette truly show the bluebells at their best. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!

Perfect for a seaside garden, sea pinks, or thrifts, are abundant overlooking these cliffs. Their pink color blends beautifully with the muted shades of the water and sunset, and it would be an inviting place to relax. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!

These charming hyacinths are a favorite in early spring. The color palette of pinks, yellows and greens is beautiful, and the selective focus on just the hyacinths makes for a gorgeous image. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!

Tiny crocus are always a joy in early spring, and this photo invokes a carpet of crocus. The centerpiece of purple draws the viewer in while the blurred surroundings enhance the sense of lushness. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your Top 10 in Spring Flowers!
