Judges Comment

Although this is somewhat blue and over saturated it is so charming that it has forced its way through. This really must be Peter Rabbit in Mr McGregor’s garden paradise. You don’t need to go to Africa to get great wildlife photography. Well done, most amusing and nicely composed.

Photographers Comment

While working with a Micro 40mm lens in pollination station capturing our precious bees in close company with extremely bright colored gardening I noticed something moving around in the flowers. There he sat hidden and waiting to set his attack on the target. I had to pin point the focus on his eye and compose the entire shot around him. I had to wonder is he there for Easter or just to lettuce-prey? He finally approached his victory's reward: smiling with his cheeks full on both sides with cabbage as he sat there in his glory and me in mine with an unexpected photo-opportunity. I laughed so hard it was hard to keep a steady aim. Yes, that garden is that bright at this years' flower and garden festival. Thank you...Elizabeth Yureklier DiRosa
