There is a photography competition at my work place - and the theme is "flowers". The catch is, each participant can submit a maximum of three photographs.
I have posted most of these on my travel blog, but all the same, the selection is here for viewing pleasure :-)

First pic is my ever fav -if I can dare to give title - would say "Touched".
And last 2 for their unusual appearance !! Your Roses are also nice - and hey Sigma - Best of Luck !
ps - Moo -lee w/ Chi -lee would be the salad with Olive tai-lee dressing...rofl...:-)
Hmmm.. quite difficult to choose from. So what is your first 3 ?
Yeah you can drop 2 & 3rd because though they are excellent beautiful pictures, they are common too !
And BTR, what is this lee business ? ROFL
I saw something on your blog the other day. Ha Ha..
Sigma, All the Best !!
Zoom the first photograph, in a bit so that you only see the petals and nothing in the background (like the left bottom corner) you should have a winner in your hands
Increase the contrast a bit, if you can do the touch up in photoshop. a bit reddish would make it look beautiful.
If possible, try to get the details (texture of the petal) it would be great...
All the best
@BTR: Thanks a lot! And that is a very apt title. If we are required to chose titles for our photos, that is the one I am definitely going to use.:-)
And that moo-lee with chi-lee .... ROFL!! nice answer !!
@Cuckoo: I agree with you - the 2nd and 3rd are common kind of pictures. So I am trying to select more unusual ones. I am considering the 1st [Dahlia - BTR's favorite ;-)], 4th [Carnation - in full size one can see fine droplets of dew on the petals], and last one [Passion Fruit flower - because I find it rather different].
And as for the "lee" business - do you want the sequence of PJ's in its entirety ?? I'll mnail it to you if I can find it in my mailbox!! Lol!
@PM: After a long time?! I had been wondering! Thank you for your suggestions. I'll crop the picture, but I do not have photoshop :-(.
You are not able to see the texture here, as I compressed the pictures for uploading - In the full size one can even see the wings of the bee, and as I told BTR, the dew drops on the carnation petals.
These flower pictures are so beautiful, but picture no. 1 is absolutely devine!!!!!
I want to wish you the very best of luck for the contest Sigma, please keep us posted about the results. :-)
Hi, Nice pics. Check out some of mine at http://picasaweb.google.com/anusdad
@Ginco: Thanks a lot!! Sure, will tell you the results. But, just to clarify - I am participating just for the fun of it, not in a really competetive mode :-)
And it is good to see you back :-)
@Ranjeet: Welcome to my blog. Glad you liked the pics. Sure, will check out yours asap!!
Phlowers and fotos are two things I am too,too bad at so I would just say 'Good luck'!!
Wow, I did not know your in photography also.
Great shots, I liked the fourth the most. You could use bit of retouching with any image editor. Hope to get more from you.
... and you are tagged
Nice photos Sigma... difficult to chose one or two from them...
good luck
Sigma - You have a wonderful and versatile collection of flower photographs. We will be delighted to have your presence in the Flower-Fest.

@N&M: Thanks! Hope I can put some of my pictures to good use :-)
When is the result ? Waiting... :))
@Cuckoo: The results arent out ... probably in a week or two. YEsterday was the last day for submission :-) (so I was trying to get some useful feedback from helpful people out here ;-))
Hi Sigma,
I am around. I keep visiting. Sher-o-shayri is not my cup of tea, hence my reluctance to comment.
have started venting out my frustration on another blog called Gibberish news - http://gibberishnews.blogspot.com/
Do visit..
Take care, and all the best for the competition.
Prakash
@PM: Heartening to know you have been around, even if in silent mode :-))
I agree - many of my recent posts have been on poetry. I guess I was over excited about my two recent acquisitions [poetry books :-)].
But I did expect you to say something on the "Price of privacy" post [probably having a better insight into the matter] :-D
Off to your new blog now :-))
