Early spring around here brings out the daffodils. They are just getting started. This image is an older film image from around 2005. Taken in the local MetroParks. I have more recent digital images, but I like this sunset view. Nikon F5, velvia. Suggestions and other comments welcome.

The combination of flowers and colored sky is great, Scott.  Getting the two together can be a challenge, which makes this a special view.  I was about to comment on how much digital capture has improved since 2005, when I noticed that is was a film capture.  This is a beautifully inviting, even dreamy image.  I trust it's in your "for sale" collection.

Lovely contrasting colors here, Scott. The composition, detail, and well capture "film" scene is excellent. It also makes a wonderful WC theme photo with regard to the Spring season.....laugh

It's wonderful that you were able to capture this lovely field of flowers at sunset!  The comp, detail, and color are excellent.  I like how the clouds make a very dramatic sunset sky.

You could recite poetry to this one! Just gorgeous and so bursting with spring. The trees, sky and sun setting make a lovely background for the daffodils. Perhaps it is the conversion from film makes it seem a little soft, but the overall scene really makes up for it.
