The rest of the 5 remaining entries chosen by the judges got 1 vote each from the judges.


Here are the remarks of all the judges who included this entry to his/her top 3 picks:


Judge 2
1st Pick
Remark: Great element of design !!!

Judge 3
2nd Pick
Remark: The totality of the picture is well-presented. I very much like the choice of camera angle and although it's "crowded", it leads your focus on the main subject being the darkest in the whole frame. The sun behind the subject produced a brilliant light that seems to cuddle all the objects together, making them a bit flooded on the edges to make the main subject come more "alive". I would have preferred a little bit darkness to the total presentation, but in one package I love the WHOLE picture as presented.

Judge 5
1st Pick
Remark: A well thought and planned composition in a simple honest shot. Exceptional in the way it is presented without much photo whizbangs. Unique in its own way, a refreshing traditional approach but quite effective nevertheless. An honest to goodness "breath of fresh air" as it is so aptly entitled.


This entry placed 10th in the dp+ Popular Votes Pick where dp+ members vote through Likes on the entries. It gathered 30 votes compared with 1st placers, Lily Vinluan and Lennox Tpc with 47 votes each.

Quite unlike all the other entries in approach and presentation - it is undoubtedly an exceptional flower photo, very well composed and an altogether beautiful piece of work. Bravo Zulu*, Jane Woodhouse! 



*Bravo Zulu - from the words of dp+ member, Monching Corpuz, is a naval signal conveyed by flag hoist or voice radio meaning, "Well Done".
