    Snow Crocus

    Beautiful sight to see outside today. My little Snow Crocus plants blooming finally, three weeks later than last year, I imagine because of the harsh winter we've had.

    2 excellent and beautiful shots.

    Minor niggle about #2 - the stem seems just a tad too long.

    I like the second one best. I think I would like the first one a lot more if it was turned 90 degrees counterclockwise. As it is, the flowers seem to be pointed downward rather than upward.

    Both very nice, beautiful detail (and the light) in the petals and I love the white background. I especially adore the 1st image. Is that the reflection of the stem in the white background that I see in the 2nd image?

    Makes me think of crystal flowers. I like the first image better. Both are great.

    Nice images .I agree with Mike about rotating #1 Travis.As it is I find the stems distracting and my eyes keep going between the stems and flowers.If you rotate it as Mike says,then my eyes will go from bottom to top and the stems won'n be that distracting.This is what I have seen when I have turned my laptop 90 degrees counterclockwise

    These are adorable; #1 is a bit more favored
