Theme: Flowers Winning Images

This has been a most difficult judging experience for me. I have never seen so many excellent floral photos. No matter who I pick, someone is going to be upset. I apologize in advance.

1. The stem Danny has produced an absolute stunning image here. My jaw dropped upon first looking at this Danny has withdrwn his name from the competition, as he used to work w/ Fabs and feel it would be unfair to the other contestants.I don't think he knew he was even in a competion. That means that Christopher Miller will be our new winning image!
beauty.

2. Reaching for the Sky Christopher has great color and perspective on his yellow flower. Love the look from
behind and wonderful light blue spotted sky.

3. Pizza nite !! Dave has produced a hilarious image here. It takes great previsualization to pull this off.

P.S. I want to thank everyone for their entries. Each and every image IMO was very well done.
