Everyone has a photo of a daffodil/ crocus/ snowdrop/ tulip/ blossom - and if you don't, why not go out and take a few using your Pentax SLR, DSLR, compact or accepted clone? The reward? Racking your brains to set next week's challenge - you don't even have to judge it; just ask the team, who will do it for you. |

If you have 10 minutes to spare Kasper, can you please talk us through that floral delight you prepared? Had it declared, "Spring", instead of "beauty", it would have been a serious contender!

Thank you for the first spot David, and congratulations to the other entrants for an interesting and varied collection - just goes to show how we all see things differently. Like you I am intrigued / entranced by Kasper's entry.

Thank you for the kind words - and the question about how it was made.
It's a rather straightforward double exposure combining two individual photos.
Before 'merging' them, the coloring was adjusted separately for each one.
And a big congratulations to Stephen on winning first place!

Slap in the middle of England
in particular, Kasperbergholt's 'Avalons', Smudge's super crisp fisheye of a magnificent tree (but it was supposed to be about flowers!) and a totally DIY analogue black and white job from RayW. There is plenty of talent and ability on display.
I also like the slightly underexposed daffodil trying to look like a conventional daffodil on steroids - Sorry Simon. Gibis reminds us that 'spring flowers' are not necessarily sprung from Dutch bulbs and that they can take other forms (with the most super bokeh too - pity the lens isn't listed). And finally, we have a lovely abstract ICM from Nigel (he's good at those).
Which leaves us with ……
The one that says, "Here is Spring, sprung up before you in a flower."
Well done with your primrose Stephen. You are the winner!
