Apple Blossoms
And to think I drove all the way to Door County WI in 2004 to get a chance to shoot apple trees in bloom when I had an entire grove within three miles of my house! I was invited out to shoot the grove tonight and the weather couldn't have been better. I was so overwhelmed by the sight I'm not sure I did them justice. But here's hoping for at least one more calm night for shooting. Thanks for looking!

Canon 10D, 24-70L @ 70mm, 1/4 sec @ f/8, ISO 200
curves, selective color, burn in hot spots, sharpen

Wow! This is beautiful Wayne. Great comp and detail, and the light is perfect...a keeper for sure.

Now how many glasses (bottles?) of that wine did you consume before deciding to go to WI? :biggrin: These look fine to me... thanks for posting! :wavey:

Love the texture of that bottom-most flower, Wayne. You rock!

Along with Jason, I really love the bottom flower in this image! The light is just perfect for showing off the intricate details of the petals. The only nit, if any, is perhaps the green leaf on the right of frame (it looks like it's covering up some interesting flowers), and the slightly blurry one at the top of frame. Nice job on this one - thanks for posting!
