Assignment Flowers - RESULTS

[Harold Davis]

First of all, let me congratulate everyone who submitted images this week. Judging was VERY difficult! I actually brought in my wife for a little help and a different perspective. I'm not going to say she swayed me, but I'm hard-headed that way!!:) As Dave said in his results thread last week, this is very subjective judging and is only one person's opinion. Again, I say, this was difficult!!

1st Place - Tie

Bloom - Kaushik Balakumar - 11
Orb - Jackie Schukneckt -11

2nd Place - Iris Composite - Dave Mills - 9.9

3rd Place - Dreamy Daffodil Testured - Dave Woeller - 9.8

Mums the Word - Dave Woeller - 9.7
Orchid Stem - Jackie Schukneckt - 9.7
Back-eyed Susan's - Christopher Miller - 9.6
Solar Orchid - Jackie Schukneckt - 9.3
Page Turner - Jackie Schukneckt - 9.2
Bee's Eye View - Christopher Miller - 8.8
Marsh Marigolds - Jackie Shukneckt - 8.5

Thanks to Denise for letting me do this and to Jules, Gus, Fabs and Al for the awesome work they put up during the week for some encouragement and enlightenment.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!
