This emerging Crocus looks like an egg hatching to me, thus the title. :wink: I thought it was appropriate for Easter time! :smile:

Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens. F/20 for 1/8 sec. ISO 200. Tripod mounted, flash fired.

Beautiful detail and color in this top-down view of the crocus! And you got the "sparkle" going on the petal edges-- that's always a treat with this flower and not always so easy to accomplish.

Well done Carolyn. I like how the flower bursts from the BG and the softness along the edge of the petals as they fade into the black. The detail of the center peeking through. Really nice.
