Another from my trip to the backyard. The colors in Augusta are just intense right now. Early blooms for sure.
D80, 18-55 @ 55, F20 @ 1sec, tripod, shutter release.
Let me know what you think.

Really nice. I like the diagonal cluster of blooms you've focused on. It's hard to focus on just one bloom and get a good idea of the magnitude azaleas have but by focusing on a group like you have done helps.

Glorious color. These are blooming in a park new me as well. They are so beautiful when there are big clumps of these.

Trips to the backyard can be every bit as arduous as days long workshops!

This is such a good and natural looking capture of an azalea at its prime. Hard to get an intense pink like this to look good; you did a masterful job.
