Competition Theme: “Flowers” within the past three (3) years

Flowers: They are everywhere, in your backyard, your neighbor’s back yard, florist bouquets, on trees, botanical gardens, roadsides, florist bouquets, wild and/or cultivated. So, show us your best shots! The subject must be actively flowering, from a single bloom or part thereof, to an entire field or fields. Be creative! Montages, multiple exposures, zooming, panning, focus stacking, etc, are all allowed, so long as all parts of the picture have been created by the photographer, and it meets the theme. Seed pods or tight buds are not allowed, unless they are an insignificant part of the image, or serve to enhance the subject.
