Congratulations on your win! Well deserved! This is incredible! The light makes all the difference, giving the mysterious magic part. Perfectly taken and adjusted, added some background details. Black frame helps to see this beauty! My adoration and the highest 6star rating! Bravo Annie!!!

Beautiful use of light.
Focus is sharp, details crisp, the back lighting is fantastic, diagonal placement fab and the use of Topaz lens effects is magical.
Well done Cara ;)

Okay I'll give this a blue medal for a fantabulous lighting technique.
Dynamic diagonal image enhancing the visual language at eye level....

The image is crisp & clear with dramatic soft shadows and faint highlights!

Congratulations!

Lighting tulips from the back is so pretty!

We see all the shades of pinks and fuchsia from the delicate petals.

Nicely detailed with excellent camera specs.

Comment from Brendaartwork18
This is quote beajtiful and very artistic. The back lighting and angle have worked excellently. The colour is vibrant and subtle, the whiter parts seem to have rays coming out at the top. Very good presentation.

Annie,
A very beautiful picture of these three pink Tulips a light beam lighting up their centres & a glowing area in the background. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

An excellent entry into the competition presented here! Your fine and central composition grants us an enjoyable view of your beautiful pair of rose blooms because your back lighting worked very well indeed. Exposure and sharpness are spot! Great photo and good luck!

Just beautiful Annie! You have a wonderful way with photographing flowers and using mixed media to enhance them. Lovely back-lit image with gorgeous light coming through and love the glow. A pleasure to view and all the best in the contest.

Comment from AndreThreeThou
I really like that glow effect behind the tulips, leaving room to the imagination as to what type of light source it is. The vignette effect around the photo looks great, and this whole concept seems to exalt the tulips, giving them some type of significance that makes them more than just flowers. The soft olive green background complements the flowers very well too.
