Shot this morning in my front yard. I used the Helios 58mm @ f/2 to get the background to swirl a bit. PP done in NIK, Lightroom and PS.

The early birds of spring flowers. Very pretty and I like the background, too

Thanks for the compliment. These Daffodils have been threatening to bloom for about a week now. Finally they decided to strut their stuff. It was also a good chance to try out the Helios with something that was not brown winter colors. Pretty cool.

Thank you. Our club has a color competition coming up soon. I might put this in. Of course, I can hear the judge now: "You have a group of 4 flowers. Usually you want odd numbers. Three would have been better and that fourth flower on the lower right seems like the odd man out in this composition." Ahh judges, gotta love em.

I know what you mean, Erich, but bugger the judges . It's a lovely picture, something that you created, something that is important to you. We all learn from our photography and strive to improve. If you win the odd accolade or award along the way, great. But the greatest pleasure comes from creating.

Thank you. Without the swirly background, it would still probably be a nice photo. I like the swirls; but I think they are not everyone's cup of tea.

Eric, I am one of those that feels the background draws too much attention from the beautiful flowers.
If the color of the background flowers could be toned down they would not draw that much attention from the viewer.
