    1st Will Ting Black-eyed Susan Summer has been truly captured in this striking image.

    2nd Gogs Dahlia The colours and textures simply leap out at you here.

    3rd Victoria Royal Cape Difficult colour to photograph, but what a lovely image.

    Very good luck to everyone.:thmb:

    1 - Victoria - Royal Cape Utterly,utterly stunning and an easy choice for my No.1. Pin sharp, great background for the subject, perfect exposure and lots of tiny bits of detail to keep ones interest

    2 - Kedi-Gato - Looking Up Seeking out a novel view point paid off and resulted in a really eye catching photo

    3 - Nathan 7 - President on The Rocks A blooming lovely bloom and a blooming good composition. Great range of colour and texture

    So many beautiful flowers ... I have voted for the clarity of the photography.

    1st ... Cornflower and Visitor ... DaveW (so crisp and clear and what I aspire to achieve one day)

    2nd ... Vine in the sky ... rosa (a lovely soft colour contrast ... it's that flower fairy again ... :))

    3rd ... Bloomin Summertime ... roders (a strking contrast and again crisp and clear)

    Special mention to Kedi-Gato for Looking Up and to Marley Farley for Sun Kissed. Both beautiful photographs.
