  • This is a spectacular capture, surely an instant favorite. The graduation of the sky, and tones mostly in pink and purple, gives a dreamy feel to this image. Beautifully seen, framed and perfectly exposed.

  • This photo suggests poetry, or maybe notes from a classic piece of music? Beautifully seen and executed, these interwinding stems, holding on to be guided. Composition is great, leaving a lot of empty space in between for imagination. The dark background give this photo a theatrical appearance.

  • The flowers photographed were below larger plants in search of light. They flourished in the little available light and supported by the stem that at the same time demonstrates strength and delicacy. I am very grateful to the judge for the comments. The camera used was the Nikon D5300 with the non-ai Nikkor 135mm f2.8. Miguel Bartilotti – Brazil

  • The I-Shot-It team is not sure how this photo was taken, could be photographed of a television screen? What possibly is low resolution, or blown up really big, makes this an intriguing movie-like apperaring image.

  • High contrast and vivid colours make the flower stand out, and having it growing out from a window frame gives it an interesting story.

  • Frozen at its prime, the colours seem more intense then in its natural habitat. It could be seen as floating in space? Definitely a creative, and beautifully composed image.

  • Unusually intertwined with one and another’s stem, and in black and white, make light and shadow shine softly on these artistically captured image. Not often, that we see curvy stems on flowers, more often they are growing linear.

  • Nicely toned down colour, makes the little purple flower quietly stand out. It is enjoyable seeing such small flower with big presence and personality!

  • With a blue sky like this, and great compositon of a growing rose set against the sky, surely we got an amazing photograph here! It makes the mind travel far, a feeling of being on holidays.

    • The photographer paid an enormous amount of attention to details. This little bug seem rather large in this macro photograph. Great colours, orange and blue complement each other well.
