Judge's Comments: This is a real beauty. I love iconic compositions. The gorgeous blue glass bottle is so realistic and just amazing technical ability is on display here. The daisy bouquet squeezed into the glass bottle creates a lovely shape against the deep purple backdrop. The use of purple in the background and foreground is brilliant as it allows the daisies and the glass bottle to be the stars of the show. My eyes move back and forth from the brilliant blue glass to the crisp bouquet of daisies, and then study the stems inside the glass. The desaturated green stems also appear to be in water as the edges are softer. So many lovely details in this one.
