Springing to Life

I took these crocus buds against a strong morning light, through a scattering of snowdrops - I quite liked the pastel effect that resulted.

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/400sec @ f 5.6, ISO 400, hh.

Well done, Ian. I like the soft, pastel colors. This would be a perfect background image for some type of card or advertisement.

Ian: Even the thumbnail got my attention. We don't have crocus in our warm climate so I really envy you the opportunity. Beautiful shot carried off superbly.>=))>
