Still pretty cold here but the early crocuses are now blooming.

Ian: I always look forward to your crocus shots and this one does not disappoint. Love your DOF/POF management. I might crop a little of the OOF FG flowers on the right but not much. Most excellent.>=))>

I can't say it better than Bill did, and I agree to shaving a bit off the RHS to give less competition to the in focus crocuses.

Beautiful. Love the soft, pastel appearance. The colors are wonderful.

Here are your new splendid crocuses of this year! You are a wizard for the blue colors contrasting with warm hues. I love the photo Ian. It seems that there the wether is warmer then here, quite unusual.

This is quite nice, Ian. Fine combination of colors, and I like the softness and your choice of DOF.

Missed this one earlier - just gorgeous!
Perfect balance of sharp and OOF, great perspective, and the colour combinations are magical.
Congrats on a fine EP!
