Just beautiful, Janine. I don't know what it takes to be a BP judge, but this is a winner as far as I'm concerned. But I've only been in photography for 40 years.

  This is one of the most if not THE MOST amazing flower macro shot I have ever seen. Just sensational and a picture that I'm sure many many mortals would just LOVE to have framed on their walls. A true gem!
