These tiny little star lilies were opening before my eyes as I was

photographing this little plant. The open flower was just born and the

bud next to it is starting, in the next two minutes they were all open!

Your comments would be appreciated, thank you.

Lovely image! nice soft color. Regards

Good combination of softness and sharpness. Beautiful colours.

This is a truly wonderful shot. Perfect composition and pastel colors. I'm curious how you maintained such a shallow DOF, yet the stamens and closed flowers remained sharp - they don't appear to be on the same focal plane? Regardless, a fantastic image.

 

David

Love your composition and colour palette. Super

Pamela, i really like your simple composition here. Also enjoyed your story of watching these wee beauts open. Working in garden has to be one of best places to experience mother nature.

 

 

 

 

 

Exquisite colours and dof, a really attractive photograph, the more I look at it the more I like it.

 

It really blew my socks off! : - )

 

Lovely shot Pamela.

 

Warm Regards

Great timing on your part. Nicely done.

Love the soft colors and unobtrusive background Pamela - little gifts of spring.

 

Best, David

Very good use of DOF Pamela, this is a cool shot, would make a nice print

Anthony, Thank you for the kind words…much appreciated!

 

Sidsel, A pleasure to have you comment on one of my photos! Your work is very inspiring.

 

David, Thank you so much! I used a 50mm lens, 1 inch from the flower, f2.5 Av-evaluative meter, 1/25s and ISO-500 hand held. Hope that helps you ;) I didn’t like this lens at first but finding it gives me some creative shots and works well for flowers in the right lighting conditions at higher ISO. I appreciate you stopping by.

 

Tim, Thank you for your kind comment.

 

Roger, As always I wait to see if you will visit and offer a comment! I was absolutely bestowed by these tiny purple flowers. I fired off around 500 shots and many buds opened, I captured it from start to finish in many of my photos. I just love looking at flowers and am always fascinated by they really look like when one gets intimate with them. I hope you are well, miss seeing your photos….Take care

 

Alf, I was wondering where those socks blew in from…you always make me smile! Thank you for your kind words, I am happy that you like this. ( I was not wearing any socks this day, big mistake cause my toes were very cold!) Take care ;)

 

Bob, Thank you, always a pleasure to hear from you.

 

David, Yes…these are little gifts of spring and I am loving all the new color and bloom…even with the allergies attached! Thank you for the kind words, happy to hear from you and hug the pooches for me!

 

Ross, Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate your kind words…I did do a small print (looks great) and have it in my office for some cheer and color. Hope you are well and happy! Take care

 

Warm regards, Pamela

 

Excellent capture and details...Beautiful tonality!

 

Regards(Bobby).

Just magical...

 

Warm regards, Anne & Runar :-)

 

 

Beautiful it all its simplicity. Wonderful colors and light. Take good care Pamela and all the best from Jannica

Nice image!

Great colors, reminds me that spring is almost here, best wishes!

I like the natural but very effective placement of the flowers.

Amazing capture! I loved reading your story; it adds even more to the depth of the image...you must have been in awe...don't you just love nature and all its gifts? Very well done...lovely. Thank you for sharing not just this beautiful photo but the story as well. :)

This is a really cool image. As you suggest, what really makes it good (besides the wonderful colors) is the juxtaposition of the open flower and the other closed flowers. The focus and composition of the other flowers are perfect, too. This is going into my favorites folder.

Bobby, Thank you

 

Anne & Runar, it is always a pleasure to hear from the two of you!

 

Jannica, Thank you for your kind words, I am happy that you like this.

 

Doc, Thank you

 

Ovidiu, Thank you and yes….spring is here and everything is in bloom after the winter sleep!

 

Trisha, I am happy that you liked this! I really enjoyed watching this tiny little plant come to life and yes the gifts of nature are a wonderful thing!

 

Michael, Thank you for your kind words, I am very flattered that you find this a favorite!

 

All the best, Pamela
