Muscari 1

Hi all.

I am taking a short break from the Crocus photos to post a couple of some muscari in my back yard. I like the feeling of expanse in the photo, though the area is only a couple of square feet in size.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

What is amazing to me is how many blooms a particular flower can have as is shown in this image. I like the bell shape flower and how the other buds look like buttons ready to pop. I think this would work well as a vertical image also, well done.

A dreamy image with delicate colors and plenty of light that creates pastel colors. A splendid photo for me, Nathan.
Cheers.

Yep, the vertical is better.
