Awaiting the first snowdrops, I'm posting this shot from a couple of years ago. Roll on the Spring ! Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200 @ 108, 1/500 @ f 7.1, ISO 500

Looking good, Ian. The Columbines certainly look like Spring. Good dof for 7.1. The BG could be more subdued, but it is nicely blurred.

A good portrait of this flower published in in the proper time for me as here is almost spring, always sunny and with mild temperature. I agree with Phil about the background.

I think a few less shadows on the main subject would help, but I really like the color of the BG, and it is pretty well controlled. An interesting subject that I am not very familiar with.

Ian: Nice work with challenging light (which I like to work with too BTW). Signs of spring are showing up around here but it always comes early in southeast Texas. Well done.>=))>

Nice shot under strong lighting conditions. I would probably tone down the BG a little more.
