Canon EF 100mm Macro

Beautiful work Ned!!!!!! there seem to be quite a few of these this year...I am enjoying the color as I drive along the highways around here!!!!

Nice one Ned. Around here, the daffodils seem to get beat up by the wind as soon as the pop up. You really have to be Johnny-on-the-spot to catch em in nice shape like these.

Ned, it's always nice to see a great treatment of a common subject. You've done a wonderful job in composing these three against a great background with the good DOF control.

Very well done, Ned.

Love the sharp petals against the softer sepals, nice and dreamy. I'm glad it's that time of year again!!

Beautiful trio Ned, I always look forward to spring and the gorgeous florals from your camera!

Beautiful, Ned! I like how the trio seem to float above the dark green mass of stems.

Thanks guys... I think this Saturday might be good to get up to Woodland to check on the tulips!
