After a good two weeks of beautiful spring weather we just spent the past 24 hours getting sleet, ice and snow. I took photos of my tulip plants & lilac bush buried in snow but I'm too depressed to actually download them. :(
So, to cheer myself up, I went back a few weeks and picked out a nice spring photo to help lift my spirits.

Just a few steps back but mostly forward Julie. Nice to be reminded of the flowers. Love the BG too. Spring IS around the corner:)

Like the simplicity in this image Julie. However w.r.t colours, the stem looks pretty blueish. Did u work on selectively reducing the WB on the BG...?

At least you have something to shoot, I'm still waiting. Nice image.

Sorry its taken a bit to respond. I've been under the weather since the weekend. I've played a bit with my blog but that's been about it.
Yes, no white background. I just think the dark backgrounds look richer! :) Of course, I have also read somewhere that you shouldn't use a black background either. But that's OK because I break that rule! :D
Hope the weather is being more cooperative for you now. In the meantime, keep digging up these nice spring images.

Kaushik, no, I didn't...this was pretty straight out of camera if I remember correctly. They daffodil stems do tend to photograph on the blue side of green though.
Ed, sorry to hear you've been under the weather.
Mike...hang on...spring is coming!!!
