Magdalena Wasiczek has won the International Garden Photographer of the Year 2012 competition with her image called Upside Down.
Andrew Lawson, one of the judges, said: “I love the subtlety and balletic simplicity of this picture. The brimstone alighting on a sweet pea is a fortuitous event, brilliantly seen. The butterfly and the flower are the the perfect complement to each other. The outlines of the insect’s wings are continuous with the lines of the flowers; and the patterning on its wings picks up an echo of the pink colour of the flowers.”
Magdalena also won first place in The Beauty of Plants category as well as other Finalist and Highly Commended awards.
Bravo!
What a collection of beautiful photos!
The sweet pea is just stunning 🙂
Love the great pictures – thank you.
yours,
