Chrysanthemum - This is a close-up view of a chrysanthemum flower taken using a macro lens. I was attending Dundee Flower & Food Festival (located in Dundee, United Kingdom) in September 2016, and the chrysanthemum was part of a flower competition.

Each petal has its own lovely texture and feels delicate to the eyes. The deep rich colour adds intensity to this image as well. - Andrew Lim, Malaysia, Commended, Open, Nature, 2017 Sony World Photography Awards
