Will - you did a great job here! The flowers really stand out again the dark background. I love the color and detail in the flowers and snow.

Hi Will,

Nice one! Good composition, exposure, DOF, and sharpness. An interesting subject (love the snow) against a pleasing background. What more could you ask for?

Cheers,

Definitely a winner here. Nice clean background that offsets the nicely positioned flowers. And of course, the snow ...
Great job.

Wonderful composition and subject matter. You have some halos around the flowers, probably oversharpened or maybe from PS blurring the background.

I really like the pattern the stems make.

Great shot Will! The snow on these delicate flowers makes this image for me. I love to see it clinging to the one stem also. Nice shot.

Beautiful image!

We had snow here in Estonia, too today (which is not common at all for May) sadly it didn't last a minute on the ground and I didn't even get to try an image of this sort..

keep up the good work

Nice capture but you can keep your snow. Nice colors and bg. Well captured.

Hi will,
mayble the borders of the petals are just a bit oversharpened but it doesn't detract too much from this pleasing image. Nice work

Will,

Good job!!! The yellows really stand out nicely against the darker background. Wonderful vertical composition with the three flowers stacked on top of one another. The snow adds that little extra to the appeal of this image. My only wish would have been to have that top flower out in front of that stem of the middle flower.

Thanks for the comments! Those that commented on the oversharpening, sorry about that, I think it's time for a new monitor - I can barely see it.
