    Default End of the Day Daffodils

    We really got pounded here today - had almost 70 mph straight winds during a mid-morning storm. Luckily, the daffodils held up to the beating and I got out tonight right at the end of dusk to make a few images.

    I intensified the greens and darkened the image a bit (except for the flower area) to intensify the dramatic effect in pp.

    I like the green, they have a wonderful color in this shot. Great composition. I might darken the pale yellow parts of the flower a tiny bit.

    Thanks for posting this beautiful image, with nice depth of field.
    With no center post, my new-to-me tripod's legs can be extended very wide, allowing camera placement very close to the ground.
    That should allow me to capture maximum depth of field in situations like this one.

    Jules, I like the composition and the dark green foliage. I also like that the daff. seems to have a spotlight effect.

    I like this Daffodil emerging from the dark amidst the green. Lovely composition. I like the diagonals. :)

    Hey Jules.....killer light and BG....softness is just right....may have preferred the whole flower open.....but the bud closing works too.
