Spring Flowers

Gallery: FloraPosted April 3, 20182,878 views6 comments

I don't know which gallery this one fits in, but I'll start here. Blue Lupine blooming on a hillside near Sonoma, California mixed in with lots of other wildflowers that I blurred out. Going for the light, springy, ethereal look.

Thanks in advance for any comments or critiques.

This is the place, Kathy. Beautiful soft colors and shallow focus. Gorgeous!

I like this a lot - perfect blurring and BG colours, and then a detailed near flower.
Nice!

I like this. I like the lightness of the green background with the pink flowers. The green stalks of grass adds nice texture. Nice positioning of the in-focus flower.

Feels like a warm spring or summer day to me, Kathy. Very nice photo.
