A Little More Spring

[AlanLichty]

Amazingly warm March weather is resulting in some more blooms in our back yard this last weekend. This is a small scene of some Anemone blooms interspersed with the white Arabis starting to come out.

C&C always welcome.

These have been really well done Alan. I like how you worked the DOF and also the darkened the shadows, it really gives these an almost 3D feel.

Thanks Jim - it's a tiny scene with the tallest anemone stem being about 4" tall at best. Shot was hand held at 260mm using a 100-400mm lens. A vignette applied in Lightroom helped make the central cluster of blooms stand out.

That is really pretty, Alan.

That is really pretty, Alan.

Thanks Doug - I don't have wide expanses of blooms so I grab the telephoto and look for the little scenes

Nice small scene. I like your processing and the vignette works well for this composition.

Very good Alan. Very nice POV and a nice subject. Post-processing has really made the subject "pop"

Thanks Kevin - The processing goal was to bring the focus to the central in focus cluster of anemone.
