Yes, the light is really beautiful! It's neat how they are backlit yet the detail of the pussy willows are clear to see. I love the brown background too.

The light in this shot IS really nice Barb. I like the 'spotlighting' effect of the BG. Nice details too!

Very nice Barb, maybe just a little tighter crop may make this image real special IMHO. Great job

Excellent image - reflected light from water (?) adds a lot to the image. Not sure whether there is some jpeg compression issues.

Nice Barb. Real sense of freshness to these, especially with the little buds on the stems. You cought the light very nicely here. I tried maybe a gazillion pussy willow shots this spring and got nothing that made me smile like this. The BG looks a little mottled or compressed but actually creates kind of painting like effect.

Barb,
Great photo. Great detail in the flowers with the soft background. I also like the center lighting of the background.

Very nice backlight with excellent control of the exposure to hold the details in the shadows. How many of us walk right by these images without stopping to see the intimate beauty at our feet? Congrats on the EP.
