The rows of flowers and limited DOF placed in front works nicely!

The blues are great here, Albert, and they're set off so nicely by the orange staymen. Your focus on the one bloom in front of a really fine clump works very well.

Almost an impressionist painting - beautifully done, Albert!

The soft light emphasizes the delicate nature of the crocus blooms. This shot really appeals to me.

This is gorgeous, Albert! The single in focus crocus flower and the fade out to back works perfectly. The exposure and colors are perfect also. Good eye to see the possibilities and a great shot! devil devil
