Flowers are a naturally photogenic subject.  They celebrate beauty and joy for life.
But it is like that saying: 'Easy to learn, but hard to master'. Paying attention to angle, framing, lighting and editing your images can go from simple flower pictures to beautiful images of blooms that stir emotions and evoke a second glance.
Many delicate and wonderful images were submitted.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : brigitte van krimpen  
2nd place : Tatyana Skorokhod  
3rd place : Piet Haaksma  

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Florals'

The currently running theme is 'Façades - calling cards of buildings'
Façades are giving a characteristic appearance to buildings. Diverse historical periods and numerous continents, countries and towns are set to present architectural facades styles that have gained love and popularity in their respective areas. A high-quality and attractive façade forms the first impression and speaks for its inhabitants.

This contest will end at midnight on Sunday the 7th of May 2023.
