In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban

With all the crap that went on in the forums about ''how there were so many flowers in this challenge'' I had to remark numerous times that I had a flower pegged for first place!! I defended you! I wanted to describe your photo, but of course, I couldn't...
But you DO have a winner here. I even requested it to be a fav during the voting!
Thanks so much for sharing this photo.
It is truly amazing!
Your new fan,

I absolutely loved this in the challenge! Very striking image and it really stood out amongst the crowd for me. Love the shapes of the flowers and leaves, the colors and the extremely fine Bokeh. It should definitely finished a lot higher and it is a real shame that it did not.
One of the most original flower shots in this challenge and a very good use of bokeh to advantage (Mine has a somewhat similar approach but of course quite a different style). Bumping this up for artistic appeal! Good luck!
Nice title. The image is a little soft for my liking. The color is good and you have some nice bokeh going on in the bg. The main subject seems a bit underexposed. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
Exquisite coloration. Maybe a bit busy, compositionally. I'd have preferred a single pansy with the curly que at the bottom. The background is lovely and certainly suits the challenge. 7
