Its Spring

[marlunn]

Well it really is spring here, Daffodils and Primroses are out - and so are the tree blossoms, this one is a member of the plum family.

I like the simplicity of the flowers

[Mike Buckley]

I like the mood of this a lot, Mark: simple and poignant.

Thanks Mike, like warm spring days its very emphemeral - drops its petals the day after it opens

[Shadowman]

Nice capture, good composition.

I was tempted yesterday to take a shot of our magnolia tree at the front of the house in the same manner but I got so busy with the orchid shots...this very nice and simple and very minimal in its approach. Love it...

An oh, before I forget, your logo distracts...

[marlunn]

Thanks john,

Izzie, thank you - for you - no logo

[marlunn]

and this is the first bud on our Magnolia Stellata to open

[Wavelength]

Lovely; i liked the composition of the first very much

[marlunn]

Thank you Nandakumar, much appreciated

[IzzieK]

I told you, didn't I? Your shot without the logo looks best. Tell you what -- if you do not want your photo to be stolen, lower the dpi to 72 then save it to the web as...not much data there, but remember to note the SS, Aperture and ISO for people who might ask. I was experimenting the other day and I forgot to make another copy for CiC...

I like #1 ( without the watermark) very much, very simple composition and I like the white color of the flowers

Went back to Cosmeston, and found this begging me to take it - thought it fitted in this thread

Last year - This year



C & C always welcome

Simplistic and minimal shot. The space made this shot in my eye...hope this Spring time really comes. We have 3 nights of frost that threatens our magnolia tree at the moment...

[marlunn]

so far its holding here, wet but frost free now. Hope your magnolia flowers survive it

[Barbara Ponder]

Lovely shots all!

[marlunn]

Thanks Barbara, appreciated
