Flower Heads - Photography Contest [112 entries]
Contest goal:
In this contest your goal is to show exactly ONE flower head in bloom, nothing more, nothing less... Just the head of the flower, with a few inches of the stem if necessary.
Your photo can show absolutely nothing else besides this. This will require you placing a backdrop in behind, or above, or below it, depending on the angle you choose to make your photo.

RayTedwell: Can it be part of the bloom only (ie shot of half the petals or just the centre without all the petals...) also are there any restrictions on DOF? ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I am guessing only parts are allowed? I wish someone would confirm that. ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
MaRkSqUiRrEl: It says One flower head, So i would think that means 1 flower, not a bunch or 2. just 1. and a few inches of stem at most. I cant see anything about parts. ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
xcandyxxkissesx: so i take it no grass either? ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
sihsan: what is DOF? ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )

adeincyprus: one flower head, although a part of the head would be acceptable.............but nothing behind it..............no grass!! ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
adeincyprus: There are some stunning entries for this contest..........!! ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
kyricom: You're right, Ade. There are some very, very pretty shots here. This will be a close contest, I think. ( 5 years and 3641 days ago )
Lodd: no sun or clouds that is? :-\ ( 5 years and 3640 days ago )
adeincyprus: I would say, as long as it is okay with the mods, that as long as the main subject matter is the bud, flower or bloom, whether it be the whole bloom, or a close up of it, and as long as the cloud is a very minor percentage of the shot, or that the sun was behind the bloom, then it would be acceptable. My idea was to shoot the head in close up, so it filled the frame, or at least made up the bulk of it. I didn't want to see other matter in full show in the background or foreground. There are some superb entries in the contest that have achieved the goal, so it is achievable.. ( 5 years and 3640 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Just the head of the flower, with a few inches of the stem if necessary. ( 5 years and 3638 days ago )

So why all the water drops and part flower photos with leaves and multi coloured backgrounds.. I don't think poeple read the requirements. , ( 5 years and 3634 days ago )
adeincyprus: I think some of you need to learn to be a little bendable with the rules. If we stuck to all the rules 'solidly' there would be almost no entries in most of the contests. Water drops are part of a plant if it early morn, or maybe it's been raining. Part of a flower is still a flower! As for backgrounds, as long as the background is not distinctive, then it is acceptable. The backdrop was a suggestion to help make the shoot easier! ( 5 years and 3634 days ago )

lovely, but more than 1 head, I think
this is lovely, but there is more than one head here..........
Beautiful. Is it more than one head? If it's a dandylion puff, the "head" is made up of multiple little parachute things (can you tell I'm a botonist?)
kyricom is right. It's not a dandylion, but a similar flower at high altitude in the Rockies. Much larger than a dandylion, but does the same thing to seed. Thus One head.
in that case, it is on topic!
What a great capture, and definitely within the rules. Great job!
beautiful
Congrats for your first place, Sanatadog!
Congrats!
WOW! Thanx guys... I didn't expect that!
