Blue-eyed Mary Wild theme

Gallery: FloraPosted May 25, 2010126 views8 comments

Canon Rebel
1/100 @ F-9
ISO 200
Tamron 18-200mm lens @ 160
I used a #1 close-up lens.

This is my favorite small wildflower. There little blooms are easy to overlook and hard for me to get close to. I know spring has arrived when they first show up on the grove floor.

John: Wonderful find and a fine capture. I'm not familiar with these little ones so this is a real treat. Very well done. >=))>

Very nice John! I like the color palette and how you were able to isolate the blooms.
If you don't mind me asking, did you find these in Funk's Grove?

Great POV and DOF. Colors are vibrant as well. I see why you like these blooms - they are very beautiful. Seems like the larger version has a little more noise than I would expect at ISO 200.

Very nice. Do they always grow in a circle?

I like your isolation, composition and the choice of Depth of Field. A nice looking flower bunch beautifully executed
