Ah! This is a gorgeous arrangement and capture of that composition. Best wishes in the contest. The background with the slight reflections in a few areas help make it outstanding.

Comment from Jim Hoff
Very impressive!! The darkened background keeps the focus completely on the flowers. If the "zoom effect" is the aura like glow around the third blossom at the back of the arrangement, it made the photo even more pleasing to look at!! Great job!!

This is such a wonderful visual presented here.your choice of black and white is a perfect way to highlight these beautiful flowers. The petals are soft looking and very well defined.

A beautiful picture of the white Azalea plant in a pot placed in a basket. The plant bathed in light so it stands out from the dark blurred background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Azaleas are my favorite flower. you have captured the vibrant beauty of these blooms with your expertise and eye for detail. The focus on the flower itself with the muted background captures the senses.
