Nancy & I went up to Asahel Curtis State Park this afternoon and the Trilliums were going FULL FORCE!! I've never seen so many at once!!

We plan to go back after work tomorrow to get some more shots!!

So lemme know what yall think of this one!!

I like it Rick but feel that this image would benefit from being cropped up from the bottom to a square format. The bottom just doesn't seem to add anything to it for me. But I love the upper 60%!

Great detail and sharpness here, Rick. I also like the subtle, natural tones. Fine job! :)

Rick, I would also go for a little crop, but my thought is, would a polarizer cut that glare of the leaves and let the real green show.

Rick, I have to agree with the polarizer suggestion. I think this stands quite well as a portrait of Trillium. The polarizer would put it over the top...
Nice to see some of your work again.

Cheers,

Tack sharp. The pristine trilliums stand out nicely against the background.
