The image shows a close-up photograph of delicate purple-blue flowers, belonging to the Agapanthus genus (commonly known as Lily of the Nile or African Lily). The flowers are tubular with slightly flared petals, and some blossoms are fully open while others are still in bud form. The stamens with dark anthers are clearly visible in the open blooms.
The background is dark and out of focus, which highlights the flowers beautifully and gives the image a striking contrast. The composition emphasises the gentle curves and fine details of the petals.

This photo shows a close-up of a purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea). The flower features long, drooping petals in a soft pink-purple shade radiating around a large, dome-shaped central cone. The cone is striking, with spiky, densely packed florets that transition in colour from deep orange at the top to greenish at the base. Tiny specks of pollen are visible on the petals and the cone. The background is blurred, creating a smooth brown gradient that highlights the vivid colors and details of the flower.

A photo of a volcano erupting. Vibrant yellow-orange lave erupts from a black spatter cone, with white clouds of gas rising into the mostly cloudy sky and a river of lava snaking toward the camera.
