Minnesota's spring splendors...
I just wanted to show you all what I've been up to this spring. It's been an interesting spring exploring new places and searching for new flowers to photograph... Here are a few images....

I appreciate any comments!

Truly,

Ben

Looks like you have found some nice subjects. Like them both.

Both shots are beautiful, Ben. I'm a bit jealous of your availability of subjects. The trillium shot, while very dramatic, seems a bit "blue" to me. I'd consider warming it up a bit.

Ben, the first image seems a little underexposed. The trunk in the ULHC is pulling my eye. Repeating patterns are real nice! The second image is simple and nice, of the two, I'd vote for #2. :toast:

I really like number 2. I've never seen one of these.

I agree with the comments above. I like the second one a lot!! Excellent composition and a great subject. The trunk at the top of the frame is a distraction, but you found a great chunk of trillium!
