beautiful intimate portrait of the crocus bud Gary! I love the surrounding green blurred areas combined with the more in focus stalks.

I love the color variation here Gary and the DOF choice. The small yellow blade overlapping the bloom is the only distraction.

This is tremendous, Gary! Really love the earliest pristine stage of bloom you found and worked into a great comp with its own soft foliage.

Love everything about this one Gary but I particularly like the composition and the use of the verticals around the subject to echo its shape. For my tastes a very fine image.

Nice selective focus Gary. I like the comp and the feeling of height and reaching.
