“A close up of the spikes on this Cactus is a winning photo, the image is so clear that it shows how the colour changes as you go along each spike.”

Ruby Hoang 9D

“Cacti, desert biome Miss Read loved how this photograph seems to make the cactus look alive - it almost looks as if an insect is crawling along the spine of the plant!”

Katy Fletcher 9E

“A picture of an encephalartos ferox which gets its name from the Latin word ferocious most likely from the spine-tipped lobes on its leaves. I picked these two images by Katy as I really liked that Katy had taken something unusual at Kew, especially the twisted vine! Well done”

This is “A full picture of the arid section in the Palm house” and I just love the amount of detail Kathirvelan has managed to capture in just one photograph!

Elsie Jeffries 9G

“I was impressed with how Elsie has managed to capture a beautiful, vivid close-up of both an open and unopened Blue Water Lily flower - against a backdrop of giant water lilies - what a great shot!”

Freya Savage 9H

“These photos were both taken in the Princess of Wales Conservatory which was my favourite part of our trip because of all the vivid and interesting plants. It was also very fun to travel through different biomes and examine the species that thrive there.”

“tapeinochilos ananassae The trip was very fun as we got to see lots of really unique places such as the desert biome and the palm house. The plants were also really interesting and exotic allowing us to learn more about their adaptations to their environments.”

“This photo shows the biodiversity of a tropical rainforest as it shows how many plants can grow on top of each other and how it is an amazing place for plants and animals to prosper.It is also a very lush and full of greenery due to the habitats climate.”

Zoe Chown 9C

“I really liked this very different image from our Kew Garden trip. Showing just the tallest tree tops reaching the top of the Palm House.”

I TOOK IT AT KEW GARDENS. :) Miss Read loved how uniquely this plant stood out, even against the vibrancy of the rainforest biome.

“I took this photo to truly encompass the true beauty of the Banana and to put on display the sheer elegance of the divine features of the Banana. I made sure to use the pure sunlight coming through the rafters to further enhance the features of the Banana in the foreground. Another feature of the photo that I have fallen in love with is how the vast leaves are encaptured in the background adding a very unique rainforest feel to the image. There are many components in this image that come together to create this dazzling spectacle in front of your eyes. The auburn shadows, the brilliant composition of the objects. The most important part of this image would be be how the photography technique ‘the rule of two-thirds’ is utilised to create something special.”

Samraat Neupane 9A

“This picture was taken when we climbed up the stairs to view Kew Gardens from a Bird's Eye perspective. It was truly mesmerising with the beautiful Temperate house being shown in the back and a great stock of big green trees modelling as ones in the rainforest to show its size.”

Nifemi Abimbola 9A

“This is a picture of Lily pads floating on water.I love this photo as the shadows created through lighting create the illusion that we are viewing the lilies in a smaller obscure area.”
