Judges Comment

Bright and bold colors with a tight crop make this an excellent photo. This is one of the most spectacular images, which has been submitted to this flower competition. A warm appearing orange, in contrast to translucent air bubbles all over the flower, and this set against a purple background. Congratulations - it works!
