Crocus 5

Gallery: FloraPosted March 17, 2014182 views7 comments

Hi all.

More crocus photos. It seems like our crocus blooms are lasting a long time this year. They seemed to have bloomed early, but then the weather has not been overly warm to kill off the blooms.

It has been a fun year for crocuses.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Lovely crocuses and a narrow DOF. Trademark shot, Nathan, and up to your usual standards.

Hi Nathan, signaling spring, this is a bright and beautiful. I want just a bit more of the center orange peeking over the petals; but, that might force a portrait layout…which may not work so well as this. Nice job!

Lovely, delicately coloured grouping, Nathan, with a nice flow to the composition. Just wonder about cropping at the R to remove the bit of extra petal there ?

I like the vibrant purple color and angle of the flowers. I just went back to review the entire crocus series of images and all of them are wonderful shots. Very nice close up perspectives, excellent work.

It must be spring if there are crocus blossoms. Really nice comp with the diagonal lines.

Nathan: The POF works especially well for me on this one. I'm still insanely jealous of your crocus. What great subjects and what a fine capture.>=))>
