This one was shot last saturday morning in our garden! We have a lot of them these days.
A good sign of the new season approaching.

Thanks for looking.

Great point of view and I love the composition - also the mood. Beautiful work.

Nice D&L, I sure like the DOF/POF, and a good eye to capture this. :toast:

D&L,
I really like the composition and the angle. Beautiful flower annoucing the new season.....but the crocus knows that maybe tomorrow it will snow in Genova :wink: :wavey:

Thank you all for the kind comments.
Monica, no probably they don't know what the weather is preparing for them!

Ciao

Daniele & Loana: One of the few disadvantages of living in a warm climate is that we don't get crocus. I really like the comp showing the environment as well as the flower. Well done. >=))>

Lovely white specimen with the light on the white handled very well. Nice flower in environment shot, too, so characteristic of their habitat and habit.

Really beautiful shot, Daniel and Loana. I just love the lighting and the composition, which sets the flower in its habitat yet gives it full prominence in the frame.
