At First Blush
The first blush of beginning color on the hydrangeas in our garden....I love their big, frilly heads and clusters of flowers and love them best at this stage - when they seem not to be able to make up their minds which color to end up - pink or blue....

  I love how you captured the shimmer of the leaves but retained all the highlight detail. Great exposure! I just love hydrangeas and their variance of color. It like you never know what you'll get.
