Flower shots

[A.M.D.A.]

Yesterday I dropped by a local nursery/greenhouse. Thought I'd share a few of the photos at N&W to bring some "color" for anyone who is also going through a dull and boring winter. Winter is almost over too, only 1 month to go...

I like the second one, but wish it were brighter. I also like the last one because the main flower look sharp. The OOF background really brings out a very good sense of depth in the picture. However, I wish it were something else in that background though

Thanks for the feedback, AE.

I like that 1st one with the focus further into the frame, it's a neat effect. Thanks for the colour, we're back in the deep freeze here....

Hi Alex Thank you so much for sharing the colours, very much appreciated!!!

I agree with Scott, my favourite is no.1 with that really cool use of DOF/placement of focus
