    I can honestly say, I would NOT want to have to try to judge this mini. It is, however, one of the prettiest mini challenges I've seen. :-)

    Liz...that tulips shot is simply great... I love the selective focus and the repetition of shape and color.

    thank you StuveShots:).
    I don't usually shoot flowers, they are very hard to shoot, but the color combo with the cabs was basically slapping my face for attention. I obliged.
