The Rose with the little droplets of water looks like the ones you find on some of the Mother's Day Cards. The Columbine clearly shows the pollen and looks like it is flying in the air. Looks like it was a hard photo to take.

The Blooming Cacti have been a popular flower for this contest. I love the way the Yellow and Green set each other off and the spines kinda give the entire photo a scary look while at the same time a peaceful feeling. Like it is saying, "Look at me but don't walk this way.. and Do Not Touch!".

All three are excellent photos.. The judging on this contest is going to be difficult for sure.. Glad it is up to someone besides me.. Cause in my opinion, all look good

Otto--wish you had been able to post sooner. Your Rose image is outstanding.

Jeff & Todie, thank you for the nice comments. I wasn't sure what time, on Sunday, that the contest ended. Oh well, there's always the next one.

Thanks again,
Otto...
