Well, at least it's creative. I don't think it will win, but I hope it at least beats my average. Catalpa blossoms frozen in water. Used a penlight at various angles to find the most dramatic lighting.

Well, I don't know, the blues are beautiful, and the flowers look so transparent all frozen (or in water) like that. As a composition I'm not sure about it though, the edges of the plate (?) showing just a bit at the bottom, the empty spaces to the top, I don't know. I guess, to my eyes this is not all that good an image, whether for "flowers" or by itself. But the colours and "bubbles" are beautiful. (5)
This has a great artistic and painterly feel to it. The essence of the plant it there but I'm also reminded of the heads of insects since these flowers tend to take on that appearance ... this subliminally adds a little anxiety to the image - as does the frozen yet lively water/ice subject matter. Compositionally it's not bad but I could imagine it more offset to add a more artistic vibe. A great idea well executed with great colors. 8
Definately a different take from the rest and looks great. Those magentas and yellows of the flowers work great with the blues of the ice. Great photo!
