Thanks for the comments folks.
Rich - That corn palace never fails to amaze me!
My third image is titled "One In a Million".
The South African entry to the Chelsea Flower Show in London has captured one of the top prizes for three consecutive years now. After each show, the entry is totally reconstructed using fresh flowers in Stanford, South Africa so that the locals can view the presentation. To a large extent, the entry makes much use of Proteas, which are native to our Western Cape area.
We didn't get to the local showing this year due to both of us getting bouts of flu. However, I used one of my shots from the 2025 show to produce this image.
I photographed an area of a large flower display in a huge wicker "basket". One flower was masked out, and the background image given a treatment with the Redfield Fractalius filter and some B&W work.
