First of Spring In Late Winter

Just down the streetÉ brand new, first bloomsÉ Crocus, of course. :wink: And sure enough not everything grows just where you want it to get the best comp every time. Ok, so I took charge of the "growing" and (hopefully) created a more balanced image by adding green foliage along the right edge to compliment the daffodil leaf on the left edge. Another in this series is posted over in FloraÉ

D200 and 105/2.8 macro handheld.

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.
