Remember Spring?

OK, we have all endured our expected winter dose of rain, how about a couple of sunny days!
Staying dry and going over a few of this past years images, I came across some bleeding hearts shot in the garden. I cropped this and liked the result and thought it would be nice to post some color.

Are we still expected to post to this gallery or at PNW Forum? I see images posted in both places?

Larger view available, thanks for stopping!

Hi Craig, Please feel free to post in whichever forum you prefer. The PNW Forum tends to get fewer views from folks outside the region, while this gallery gets more views. So it all depends on what you want.

This is a nice shot of bleeding hearts. I think I'd like a bit more dof on the front set, the left and right ends could be a bit more in focus. Other than that, I like the sloping branch and subtle movement it brings. Nice crop work too.

Thanks for the nice dose of spring color, Craig. I really like how the flowers are all lined up here. I would love to see this one all in focus using your focus blending techniques.
