A Touch of Spring

Gallery: FloraPosted February 11, 2011529 views27 comments

If I had to photograph one flower, it would be a Bloodroot. White flowers are a personal favorite and I believe a well-photographed white flower cannot be rivaled by any other medium. Bloodroots are so eager to greet the day and open up very quickly in the morning - it's a joy just to sit and watch. This one was growing on a mound and allowed this pov.

It looks like spring should be just around the corner with this light and warm image. Nicely composed - very pleasant.

Will: Hard to argue with results like this. Reminds me in a way of The Phoenix. Marvelous shot. >=))>

Will:
Like the POV with reaching for the sky pose. Yes, white flowers are beautiful to photograph and also a challenge to expose. This one is expertly done.

Gorgeous! I like how the blue extends downward around the stem instead of the brown. Great job controlling the whites.

Nice job, Will. When I first saw this as the image opened, my reaction, without looking at the title was Here's Spring.

I like the simplicity as well as the colors.

Cheers,

Carol
