The result is a unique snapshot, a paused moment that preserves the fresh vibrancy of the blooms.

Photographed at dawn, the photographers battle errant bubbles and bad lighting to capture just the moments, and their series Zero Degrees showcases their technical as well as artistic prowess.

    Very beautiful flowers. Cannot stop looking at them and Moss and Fog contents are second to none. My advice would be to always include species name (English and Scientific) to every image of species to facilitate identification and learning process.
