Wild Violet

Wild Violet in Pennsylvania Woods. These little flowers were on a path that I was walking while looking for woodpeckers. Thought it was a nice woodsy look.

Nice comp with purple flowers in alignment between the logs. Good to see the environment as well.

You should try softening this light. I would have used a translucent diffuser. That would almost certainly have tamed the contrast here.

A diffuser would soften the light, but I like the harsher light here as it portrays a bright spring sunshine warming up the forest floor. This is a beautifully composed intimate scene. I think cropping down from the top to just below that top bloom would make it even stronger.

Janet: I actually like light like this and enjoy the challenge of it. I think you did good. Count me with the group advising a crop from the top or even better to 16:9 from top and bottom to isolate the main group of flowers. Nice find and a really good capture.>=))>
