10 Tips for Better Garden Photos
Some amazing stuff here : International Garden Photographer of the Year competition

Quite an open theme really, from birds, insects, flowers, trees, water and more besides. The only requirement for this challenge- It must be from a garden.


Rules
1. Anyone and everyone interested in the challenge is eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-6 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.
9. The WINNER of each weekly challenge is the JUDGE of the next week's Project 52-6.
10. The Facilitator (in this case noelcmn) may participate in the challenge, provided he/she is not the judge.
11. Closing date for the challenge is Sunday at midnight in your time zone. Late entries are accepted but subject to the acceptance by the current weeks
Judge.

Good luck everyone, and happy clicking!

Wow despite the adverse weather condition we have stunning collection of submissions here.
ivanvernon I am not so sure about making special concessions-the idea of the challenge is to challenge you in challenging conditions to comply with the challenge . Seriously I only host/facilitate Project 52-6. Perhaps the judge can make a decision on concessions. There really is no hard and fast rule. Rule 1 is what it is all about!

I am glad I am judging. We have had 6-8 cm of snow so far this week (on top of what was already there)

Same here. The winter that won't end. But we photographers improvise, adapt, and overcome, so I'll find something!

A busy week so far, I hope to get into the garden this weekend

What I wish was in my garden:

Window Flower



What is in my garden (my official entry):

[Tamia]

My wildflower and sunflower garden is in sorry shape:

Will Spring Ever Arrive and Flowers Grow?




I wish that I'd happened on this garden this week instead of last, because it would be a good entry:

"Bog" Flowers (Not an entry!)

Well, I decided to enter this photo as my entry. it is the reflection of our garden's trees in our pool.


PS: We're living in a condominium, so that's not my private pool.

This one really gave me a chuckle. True pot plants.

Some cracking shots here- so glad Project 52 is getting so many entries.
This fellow was in my garden on Thursday!

Unfortunately I couldn't upload anything last night and I'm having trouble uploading this morning. Not sure what the problem could be....

We were visiting family out of state. I got this shot yesterday since I knew we would be traveling all day today. Just a small garden in the works.

Ok, it worked this time. Hope I'm not too late.
