About The Beauty of Plants

Achieving great images of plants and flowers requires skill, passion and commitment. This category celebrates the ephemeral beauty of the plant – from seed to compost. Plant portraiture is all about capturing the very essence, or character, of a plant. This could be a rambling rose or a humble bluebell, an exotic tree peony or the delicate flower head of a grass. A single bloom in isolation can be admired for its uniqueness. Take a closer look. The judges will be looking for spot-on technique and original artistic views of your subject.

For the purposes of this category also includes the Fungi and Lichen families.
