After seeing Thomas Haney's recent trillium cram it struck me that its been a long time since I went a-cramming. Shot this columbine through some agapanthus leaves and am rather pleased with how it came out. All comments welcome. >=))>

I really like the soft light and color Bill. Very well composed in my opinion.

This has a real appeal to it Bill, very nice soft colors and light, love to try something like this, but I still have a little wait. Beautiful work.

Very nice. I still haven't conquered the "cram' shot but I keep trying. I really like the softer colors here.

Great effect Bill. I like the sharpness of the main bloom. Very nice.

Now! THIS is the goal of cramming that I learned about (and can seldom do properly!). A lovely soft veil of color where the main subject looks like it's in a dream state. Super cram, Bill!! I could wish for less fg leaf form and stamens to the right. But I'll say it again, GOOD crammin'!!
