Thank you for your comment. I never thought of it, but the Desert Bird of Paradise, dark blue sky, dark clouds and glowing setting sun is like a special fireworks display. Doesn't happen all the time. Photo was taken with a Sony Cybershot camera. Contrast adjusting in Photoshop. Thanks again.

The composition and execution of his photo is superb. Delicate this flower stands out from a dark background. Very well seen and done.

Thank you very much for your comments. This is the first time this orchid has flowered for me and it seemed to stand out well against the dark blue background. A roll of green paper just happened to be nearby but the green colour was so similar to the orchid it just had to be included in the photo! It was taken with a Canon 5d mk111, with almost no post processing

These pastel appearing flowers could be behind some milky glass, could be under ice. We do not know the answer, which makes us wonder even more. Excellent capture!

Stefan Scherf, photographer from Germany. Thank you very much! The picture actually shows flowers behind a milky glass pane. I took the photo with my Fuji X100F. Post processing is just a Kodak Portra 400 Preset in Lightroom.

Heroic and dramatic, choosing black and white for this image, and the angle chosen by the photographer works well for this composition. Shot from below opening up to the top of the tree and the big sky.

Not everything in life is perfect, this flower reminds of the circle of life. A flower, which has seen better days, transitioning into soon to be not recognized as such anymore. Great colours, blending into each other.

It feels theatrical, diving into the world of this this lovely captured red flower. Well composed and beautifully executed, the flower in the spotlight surrounded by mysterious darkness.

I am very grateful to the judge for the comments. That image in my garden got my attention thanks to the filtered light from that moment on the flower and its surroundings. The camera used was the Nikon Df with the non-ai Nikkor 135mm f2.8. Miguel Bartilotti - Brazil

Mist in the distance with a few delicate purple flowers, surrounded by pale grass and water drops - we like this image a lot. It opens up our minds, and breathing feels easier.
