How/Why I Did It: I
was struggling to find an image this month so here is one that I
shortlisted as an entry to the flora competition. It didn’t quite make
it but I like it because it shows the beauty of a common wildflower.
Taken on my old micro four thirds Olympus Pen camera while walking the
dog it has had very little done to it apart from the usual Lightroom
tweaks when converting a RAW file. |

A very nice
illustration of a common flower. The flowerheads are all nice and sharp
and I like the subtle variations in colour. The brighter stems in the
background are a little obtrusive, but not too distracting. I'd be
tempted to crop a little right and left - it might just squeeze into
one of your square formats. |

Beautifully
simple and each individual flower seems perfect against that softly
blurred background. The fact you have done very little to the image
speaks for the quality of the original image. |

An
illustrative image worthy of any wild flower catalogue. The florets
appear sharp and the background greenery is out of focus making an
appropriate background. Perhaps not a competition winner but, none the
less, a nice picture. |

Images such as this open our eyes to the
beauty in the common plants that we see every day. It is well
focussed and exposed. The supporting stems are gently going out
of focus and are not intrusive. Nature has provided a nice
composition and the only thing I would suggest is that you maybe tone
down the overall background green a little |

The flower certainly "pops" out of the
frame and has a 3D effect due to the out of focus background. The
background is however quite busy, even though it is blurred but never
the less does complement the natural setting. A great image |

I like the
simplicity of this image and the flower head stands out well from the
background. I do, however find the background a bit too bright
and would be tempted to desaturate it a bit. The detail in the
flowers is lovely. |
