Thanks to all who participated in last week's challenge. It was a very popular one, as I had anticipated. There were some terrific shots of flowers that had to be disqualified because they did not meet the requirements of the contest! Either they did not follow the theme, they were uploaded after the deadline, or the winners' post was not UPVOTED! Be sure to read the rules before entering!

---

Here are last week's winners! Congratulations to all!

Wow... Flowers in white are always breath-taking! I'm not going to mention my favourites because I think they are all wonderful... Congratulations,winners!

And I'm definitely going to try for this week's theme... Let me go digging in my archives... ;)

[dmcamera]

Thanks! I bet you have lots of cloudscapes in your files. :-) I look forward to seeing them.

[mirfaner]

good luck for you :))

Wonderful selection! Congratulations to all the winners!

[sumatranate]

Thanks for sharing some great photos. I especially like the image of the bees and the small white petals. Keep up the great curation efforts.

[dmcamera]

Thanks! Happy Easter!

[marymik23]

Not all the flowers in your shoot-list of winners are worthy, some with a poor composition. I liked the photos @sunscape, @ninahaskin and @bigsambucca. I do not understand the criteria for choosing the others, I'm sorry.

Question on the new assignment, can there be a sun in the frame?

[photography-101]

I disagree with you about the worthiness of the winners. Every image is worthy of its winning place. ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS including @youhavewings, @fernandes, @kunschj and @claudiaz are worthy winners. I thank you for bringing up the subject though, as it prompted me to write a post in photography-101 with a critique for each of the winning entries! I do hope you will read it here as it answers your question about the reasoning behind the winning choices in more depth.

[dmcamera]

You can have the sun or lens flare etc. in the shot - just no horizon, trees or land.

[ninahaskin]

Thank you so much, Diane, for selecting my entry as one of the honorable mentions as well as the tip -- I'm thrilled! 🌼Congratulations to the other winners - excellent floral photographs! We appreciate the hard work you put into running the #wiwcontest contest each week @dmcamera

[dmcamera]

Nice shot, but remember to read the requirements - no land in the image - only cloudscapes!
