Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Holy Pink Fairy dusted Star Garland Doc!
DOF is beyond dreamy and focus is sharp.
I like the soft lilac color, thick waxy like petals and the star shape this shrub flower has.
Great camera techs with superb diagonal placement within the frame.
Nice work Doc!

    awww...thank you Sange. I am really pleased you went back and had a look at this one. It was one of Padre's favorite shrubs so it has a really special place in my heart. That's a wonderful review you've given it and I appreciate that as much as the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!" AND the shiny gold star!!

Grand Power in the Posey you have given us. The exposure is just perfection with beautiful color and wonderful natural lighting. Great detail as well offering up complete control of the blooms - every petal perfectly played! Beautiful shot, thanks for sharing!

What a nice little flower to bring the promise of better days ahead. I love the Bocca effect and the lovely pink color in the flowers. Wonderful focus and clarity throughout the frame. Thanks for sharing

I keep looking at this and meaning to review it and keep getting distracted. A wonderful shot of the stem bursting with life and also showing the stages of life with this plant. Great clarity, sharp and brilliant detail and lovely crisp shades of purple, captured very effectively. Well done.

    You're very welcome!! wow how rude did I come across? lol well if you review my piece "The East Window" for me, as I'd like your honest opinion on it - some have been critical, some I can relate to - I'll forgive YOU? haha :)
reply by the author on 14-May-2017
    ahahaha...despite your rather circular logic there El-M I will be happy to check out your window piece. Been meaning to anyway....lol

    "Perpendicular" logic I prefer, I have to bring something to the table eh!
reply by the author on 14-May-2017
    lol...OK- perpendicular then. Just reviewed your window....kinda long review I'm afraid. That's one A-MAZE-ING window for sure!
Comment from Stringbean


Beautiful capture of this early spring flowering bulb. Your focus is spot on and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in every part of the Spring bulb. I like the beautiful colors and that you even captured the bud on the branch. Your perfect blurred background adds a lot of beauty to your overall photography. Indeed a well taken photo and thanks for sharing! Spring in Vermont must be breathtaking!

    Oh it IS Mary Lynn!! All the trees have finally started budding and there's new things in all my beds every day or two. Now if it would REALLY warm up things would go crazy....lol...weatherman says by the middle of this next week....we'll see. Thank you so much for having a look at this guy. Oh and Mary Lynn- this one is a shrub......the spring bulbs seemed to slow down when it got so cold last week. Anyway- always appreciate your thoughts on one of my pieces.

Very pretty branch with flowers. I like how you blurred the background so that the focus of the photo would be the flowers. Well done.
