Greetings everyone, I am much delighted to share my flower illusion pictures here in this very community. Last week was super for me and I want to say a very big thank you for the win. My kind of mobile photography is mainly on creativity and exceptional pictures from mere pictures, nature photography can also be taken in a creative way making people think about the shot was taken. I will be sharing some mobile flower pictures I took with my mobile phone.
Photography being one of my hobbies, I have given in my time and valuable assets to achieve in something great. I got mobile macro lens that can help zoom pictures into macro mode. I took this beautiful flower with the macro lens adding more blurry effect on the background. This is actually one of the most amazing shots I took with the macro lens. To say, this is actually an illusion picture changing the major state of the flower into a creative one.
The Pride Of Barbados is also one of the most planted ornamental plant in my state. Capturing flowers to give special taste really involves making macro shot of it. I gave a special shot really showing the petals and little parts of the leaves. I made a little edit to darken some areas to keep the picture outstanding.
Green flowers are really beautiful when the background is been darken a bit, it brings out the beauty and sharpness of the flower leaving the background dark. This comes out so nice of you use a device of about 50mp up, it gives good portraits and also blur backgrounds. It was actually a good day for me taking beautiful slides of those flowers with my RedmiNote13 smartphone.
I used lightroom mobile app to control the lights and also sharpen the pictures..

The world we live in is full of mysteries and that is why it is so interesting.
Sometimes reality is like an illusion and sometimes what seems to us an illusion is reality.
This is how a little mysterious illusory I saw the tulip flower when I looked at it closely.
Its petals appear or on the contrary disappear in the darkness but everyone who looks at this photograph can finish this fantasy with their own special opinion.
One of the few tulips I like (the other one is the black tulip). A great shot!
Alexandre Dumas knew how to create intrigue even around a tulip tuber :)
Excellent illusion full of mystery...t is a magical tulip (perhaps the petals appear or even disappear in the darkness)... Thank you for another entry for this contest and for the appealing description! Cheers :)
Hi @marcoteixeira
What is it we are looking at except for wild violets? Did you read what the contest is about?
In the picture, besides the violets, a partial eclipse is visible. It looks like fog, but this is an illusion. It's not fog, but additional partial darkening.
Thank you.
Can you tell me what the "illusion" is you photographed?
Did you read this:
I’m not sure if you are English or not but in English that doesn’t suggest comments as a heads up. There is nothing in that paragraph that would make someone think they had to do anything to do with writing. There might be a communication barrier here.
No, I am not English, but I don't see the illusion. So are you saying I am not allowed to ask what the illusion is because commenting and replying is not a thing to do?
I think there is a language barrier and illusion doesn’t mean what you think it does. Are you using an online translator? What you said just doesn’t t make sense as a sentence in English and it certainly doesn’t mean what you think it does. Not saying this to be rude at all just letting you know so you can edit it for future competitions.
I think what your looking to ask is something more like :
“Please don’t just share pictures but explain a little about your image and / or / your creative process and the intention behind your photograph.”
Illusion has nothing to do with writing or commenting at all as a word.
Did you notice I am not hosting this contest?
And no, what you wrote is not what I meant to say. I asked for the illusion part like written in bold in the contest.
But hey, it is my community and not to be rude but we like to see art here, not only photos of flowers which are posted everywhere.
Thanks for the suggestion.
A good evening.

No i am not sure who hosts it I just saw you commenting about the comments and im just letting you know that i think there might be a translation issue so you can make the competition clearer for others.
This is the meaning of illusion ( it’s basically a false sense of reality)
An erroneous perception of reality.
"Mirrors gave the illusion of spaciousness."
An erroneous concept or belief.
"The notion that money can buy happiness is an illusion."
The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.
"spent months flailing about in illusion."
I think a lot of ppl are entering with flowers as someone commented on one of my posts of flowers and asked me to share it on this page and join the competition. I imagine they did the same to a few ppl. I think this is also called a ‘flower contest’ no? You mean you also like paintings etc?
Personally, I am not such a flower fan but if it comes to this contests all creative art with the topic "flower" and this time illusion is welcome. So it can be a statue, something painted, a drawing, a building, a cake, a picture of a shadow, grafity, a sandsculpture and so on.
Who knows it's even more about creative thinking and taking a photo 🤔
I also believe that not many read since they are used to post the photos they take from flowers everywhere in the understanding all communities/contests are the same.
I am used to read, check posts and entries and I comment or ask what is meant. If the photographer can explain what the "illusion" part of the entry is - which I can miss/don't see - it's fine with me. Since we do not all see the same if it comes to art.

Dejo por acá mi flor representando la ilusión en plenitud, en su momento de mayor florecimiento y a plena luz del sol, porque esta hermosa cuando cae el sol ella también guarda sus pétalos y al siguiente día vuelve a tomar su buena porción del sol a "brazos abiertos" espero te guste esta lindura pertenciente a mi jardin y fotografiada con mi telefono celular marca HONOR
پارک میں کھینچی گئی ہے تصویر درخت کی ایک حسین مندر پیش کر رہی ہے۔سوکھا درخت سارے پتے جھڑ جانے کے بعد ایک انوکھا مندر پیش کر رہا تھا۔

Hi friend, can you tell me where the flower is? Or is that the illusion?
Hi my entry :)

Please, note that this is a COMMENT contest. Can you leave a picture in the comment section as well.
Huh? Can’t see anything about that in the post someone asked me to join and sent me this link.
see post
Most groups who do this just want you to put the link in comments this doesn’t suggest anything different. I’ve put a suggestion above.
We are not most groups and we don't like to be like most groups since all those groups are the same.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
♥️🍀
Yea that’s fine I’m not saying you should be the same just that ppl get used to certain formats so it needs to be clear if the format is different. That way people know how to enter your competition.
