Sunday is the first day of Spring and these Daffodils from the garden are a sign of it's arrival. I shot these inside against a black mat with reduced light and a 16 image stack.

Love the composition Craig and the color palette is beautiful. Also a perfect stack as far as I can tell. Striking image.

Craig - excellent detail and colors. The BG sets them off perfectly, and the comp of 3 at different angles is wonderful!

Whoa spring is sprung...somewhere...

All we have so far is the tips of the leaves just starting to poke through. Great job on the stack and colour management Craig.

Beautiful composition and color, and I especially this this against the dark BG.
