These were all fantastic photos of flowers. It would be hard to pick one winner.
FlowerLady
oh my good luck with this one...each one beautiful in its own way...so much color...
Nice photos. You have a great contest each month.
I am honored to be among these lovely entries!!
Every single entry is gorgeous!!!
Good luck choosing from those! I wondered what others would submit. Looks like most went macro with single blooms.
Motion, huh. Hmmmmmm.
Wow! The flowers are incredible!
See I sent mine in so early that you forgot it:)
Lot's of nice colors and photos in this one...
These are GREAT, Joan... They are much better I think than last month's pictures... There are four that I really like (but most of them are good). My fav's are Pat (very very creative), Beth (beautiful lighting), Kim and Squirrel Queen.... ALL I can say is WOW.... JJ's is good too...
Thanks!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Beth's picture is striking...excellent composition!
Yikes! I've got some stiff competition. lol! These are awesome!
The pictures are all gorgeous. Your judges will have a hard time finding a winner.
Blessings, Star
All of these are great again this time. They all look like winners to me. While I know you want as many entrants as you can, I didn't enter this one because I just don't have confidence in my flower photography yet. These are far and away better than anything I get. I'm going to try and learn from them with my flower photos.
Fantastic entries! The judges might as well drop numbers in a hat and pick them out these are all so good, I am honored to be among them! :)
Each one is beautiful. Scrolling through the entries is like strolling through a garden, all that is missing is the scent.
Wow! There are a lot of GREAT pictures! Thanks for doing the contest. Now, I need to think of something for motion...
HA! You found it!! Thanks! They are all beautiful:)
FlowerLady: It sure WILL be hard to pick just one winner!
Brian: I love that about flowers, don' t you? Their colors always make me happy.
Technobabe: Thanks! I forgot one this time which made me feel so bad...but I revised the post so you will have to make sure and see Far Side's photo too.
Bossy: I am so glad you entered!
Joanie: It sure is!!
Linda: It is always such fun to see what everyone enters! Motion will be fun to see too!
Eva: They sure are!
FarSide: Thank you SO much for letting me know I had skipped your entry when I posted...I could never "forget" your photo...it was fabulous...I guess I just didn't go down far enough in my emails to remember to include it in the post. Please accept my sincere apology..I did a separate post to let everyone know I forgot to include it and I also revised the original post so when I send it to the judges it will be right next to the other photos for judging. Good luck!!
Pat: Yes, there are!
Betsy: See how difficult it will be to actually pick only ONE winner?
Jill: Yes, every one of them have an element of uniqueness!
JJ: yes they are...yours included! I would have danced amongst the flowers in your field of flowers...that was amazing!
Star: Oh yes they will!
Ratty: I always enjoy your flower photos!!! Don't ever be afraid to enter....even if one enters and doesn't win, you learn by the experience and it is fun.
Insanity: I never ask them how they pick only one winner...I just know that MOST of the time they tell me they had a real, real hard picking just one.
SquirrelQueen: A perfect comment! I SO agree with you.
Beth: I have such fun with the monthly contests and seeing what everyone submits...I am very anxious to see what we get with the motion/action theme too!!!
I love guessing to see which one the judges will pick. I ignore mine as I can see it isn't the one, but their are a couple I am guessing they will pick. It's fun to see what they say. Great ladyslipper's.
Joan these are so beautiful. All.of.them. but my heart missed a beat as I looked at the yellow rose, so pretty......:-) Hugs
