Undergrowth in Macro

A mystical image with 3 "sentinel-like-figures" surveying the scene and keeping a watch over the beautiful, delicate landscape/background depicted in your interpretation of life in the undergrowth. Congrats.

Many thanks to everyone who entered.

This image is so unique and completely captured the "Undergrowth" brief. The title is perfect and you (the photographer) had obviously found your "tiny treasure" somewhere on your walk or hike. The story behind this capture is untold, but it is very intriguing.......??. Congratulations on my FIRST choice.

Slippery, slimy undergrowth and mossy, wet rocks are enough to cause trouble when trying to photograph an interesting image. BUT that adds to the appeal. I hope you didn't end up with a wet camera and a sore "derriere" when capturing this Scottish plant life. Congratulations on an entry with a point of difference and lovely detail.

A moody and dramatic interpretation to the undergrowth brief. Thank you for submitting and congrats on a top 10 finish.

The undergrowth has provided a final resting place for this lonely Monarch. A poignant image with a special mood. Thank you for your interpretation to the undergrowth theme and well done on your 8th place.

There were many excellent insect images submitted, but this one had a feeling of undergrowth on a Summer's day with the grass drying and the caterpillar "hanging around" enjoying the warmth. Congrats on finishing in the top 10

Very unusual, delicate mushrooms which you have photographed in a compelling way. Thank you for your interpretation.

A family of tiny mushrooms beautifully captured. Well done and congrats on your 3rd position

"THERE are fairies at the bottom of our garden! It's not so very, very far away; You pass the gardner's shed and you just keep straight ahead -- I do so hope they've really come to stay".......by Rose Fyleman (May 1917) This image has that magical quality to it that perfectly illustrates the poem and depicts those "tiny treasures" in the undergrowth waiting to be found.
