 This is my third submission for this so I hope I made the right choice.
The hydrangeas are in the early stages of their flowering and I like the mix contained in one head.

a bit of an angle and more pronounced DOF. may have pushed this a bit higher.

not a complaint - just something to think about.

Very pretty, Marion, especially the way those fresh petals are still curling in as they awaken. Nice pastels, too. Congratulations on the top 10.

Funny how sometimes the same type of photo will finish side by side, in this case we had the same flower.

Oh cool. This is a well chosen angle, also the water drops look good. Nicely done with the pastel colors and the composition too.
