Springlight Crocus

Gallery: FloraPosted April 24, 201677 views8 comments

The unique crocus (Crocus vernus Wulf Forma Drebachiensis) that grows in and around the village, Drebach, South-East Germany, really is something special. This is actually not far from my home town and I have photographed them many times. Nevertheless they always offer new photographic opportunities and this is from the last trip with Mark. At the end of the day some of the sloping meadows in which they are found are bathed in a wonderful evening light … Here i am looking to capture nature at its most perfect with the new colours of the last light of one of the first days of Spring.

A larger view can be seen HERE.

Ines, this is delightful. I'm really liking how that lens renders the bokeh - almost as if the glass were as much an artist as the photographer. Beautifully executed devil

Beautiful image! The soft colours and blurs make a very ethereal image. Placement of the main blooms is also perfect.
very fine work!
I personally find the black frame detracts quite a lot - something less stark would not draw the eye so much.

I agree with Sandy. Lose the black frame and you have a delightful winner. devil

Very nicely composed. The blurred frame, soft colors, and repetition work nicely together here.

A delightfully dreamy feel to this image, yet it's filled with light. Very nicely done. You can get rid of that black frame by selecting white as the bg color when you post.
