Ok, this is my first time posting in the technique section. This isn't a great photo, but I do feel it gives the feeling of spring. I want to reshoot this, but the weather sure doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
I dislike the dark shadow on her face and I think it's too pinky or orangy or something, but I keep trying to adjust it and it ends up worse. But I love the innocence of her picking up the easter eggs.
Thank you for your entry!
I guess Easter is a spring time holiday:-)
Two pics the first shot on the 2nd of a spring chick, not very well presented but tthe chicks were only 2 days old and were not used to performing for the camera
The second I shot this morning. He would not display, but he is in all his spring finery

I like this photo too-- there's something about yellow flowers and blue sky that just feels good. I love sunflower pics like this too-- but we'll have to wait a few months for that!
I know I'm a little late in posting to this one, but this was taken in the front yard of the house my husband and I just brought last month we've been super busy moving!! (still not fully done moving in yet... as I post this from teh apartment we're trying to get stuff out of...)
Spring comes slowly here. The white of the Blackthorn blossom is always the beginning of spring. Promising good things for making sloe gin after the frost in the winter. There is always a late frost which takes most of the early blosssom making the sloes are harder to find.
Proper sloe gin should be made with Plymouth Gin rather than London Gin but I prefer using vodka to Gin
So here is the start of spring, the start of sloe gin making, the start of my ski holiday hip flask. All good things start with white blossom...

Wow, what a great picture!
Did you consider LPS#3, picturesque?
Did you notice the position of the lover's legs and the form of the branches of the tree ?
Thanks for the nice compliments!
I included the tree in the frame because I felt like it balanced things out better. Honestly, I hadn't noticed the similarities in the branches and legs, but now I love it even more. Great observation!
Thanks. They are both just fortunate use of midday sun. I underexposed the poppies to preserve color and the green just vanished into the shadows which suited me fine for the shot. The Camilias in the background of the lilys are just naturally a dark plant, and the sun was shining nearly directly down the gullet of the lilies which made them glow. The lilies are in my garden so I plan more shots of them before they fade.
I have been doing too much of the high contrast light lately. I'm going to have to start doing something else before I get type-cast.

Not a problem, there are no deadlines:-)
It's a nice flower closeup.

Tulips.. Holland... Spring...:-)
I'm working on the newest assignment but couldn't resist these when the snow started today.
Looks like I got my furniture out a little too early!

You are correct. They are planted on the state capitol grounds just outside of my office. I took this one on a lunch break.

Here's my entry for Spring. I shot these two while out at the park. They seemed to be enjoying the spring day indeed!
Cheers,
Jeff

Awesome! I love the lighting on these things!
