When choosing the subject FLOWERS for the 23st round of the #pobphotocontest I already expected that a lot of people would join. I think everyone has pictures of flowers or flowers in their neighbourhood.
But I didn't expect this many contestants; we've almost reached 40!

Thanks all for sharing your lovely photos:

Winners!

Having this many contestants does make it more difficult to choose my personal top 3, but I do have to make a decision, so here goes:

3rd place: @aura89

@aura89/pobphotocontest-round-23--flower-by-the-roadside

I really love Bougainvilleas. They grow they grow luxuriantly in warmer countries. Unfortunately I don't see them a lot in The Netherlands. It's a bit too cold here.
What I like about your photo is that it's taken on the road side and the combination of the colours of the flower, the foliage and the blue sky. Well done!

2nd place: @myfreshes

@myfreshes/lilium-albanicum-pobphotocontest-or-theme-flowers

I've seen quite some lilies before, but never this peculiar. They look a bit like lanterns, very cool! And I like the combination of yellow, orange and green too.

1st place: @fotostef

@fotostef/imagine-that

A lovely shot of some geraniums after a fresh rain shower. I really love the water drops on the pink pet

I will send out the POB tokens to the winners as soon as possible.
A new round will be started after submitting this post, so stay tuned!

Photographing is my passion. Although I like photography in general, nature photography is one of my favourite subjects. I often go out with my camera for a hike to capture the beauty of nature.
I'm sharing my photos on Hive, Noise.Cash & APPICS.
I would love to read what you think of my photos in the comments.
