Congratulations, Sharon, that's awesome. They're both really nice photos. (I especially like the curled petals of the second flower in #1.) What's the difference between categories "A" and "B"?

2nd place section B looks better to me. Kind of clean and simple.

Thanks everyone, I'm soooooo happy........
I've always thought the little flower in #1, looked like he has his hands over his mouth laughing...
#2 would have to be my best image so far.....
Matthew, section A, the images had to be taken within the grounds of the Botanic Gardens & section B, images can be taken anywhere.
