Spring is Here - Part II

I returned to the Botanical Gardens this morning. I set some goals for myself, but I quickly found I got caught up in all the flowers and started snapping away. I did work awfully hard at some of my shots, trying to keep in mind composition, distracting background, and DOF. Next time, maybe I should choose one flower type or a single flower and focus my efforts on that. And take some courses . . . :D

All that aside, please enjoy these and feel free to comment. I sent another poppy shot to the Whipping Post . . . curious to see how that goes.

Thanks,
Lauren

    Thank you both--I am partial to purple anyway, so I liked the iris shots as well. Thanks.
