wow I love so many of these images, but #2 really stands out too me with #9 being next in line. Great captures all of you.

doroth2 · 06-17-2021, 02:02 PM

Hard to choose. There are some great shots here!

**nematologist** · 06-17-2021, 02:20 PM

One of the more difficult choices. All very impressive and inspiring me to get out and capture some flowers myself!

Sometimes you like an image depending on your mood, then comparing it to others you're not sure anymore.

Getting to the finals is a great achievement, there will always be a winner, a second and a third. It's a given by now.

My choice is still the first of the first and second round, still #5, simple and beautiful with few colors but well dosed light and shadows.

#9 for me

**PJ1** · 06-17-2021, 10:04 PM

Beautiful shots. Hard choice.

**Angulon** · 06-18-2021, 05:15 AM

So after much thought I chose number two.

But, they are all so good, wish I could choose others.

It's a composite image, using the "Twirl" technique in Photoshop. If you tube a search on YouTube it has a number of videos on how to do this.

Oh my gosh -- what a wonderful set of photographs. Impossible to choose just one favorite. Great shots guys and gals!
