Backlit Crocuses


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Backlit Crocuses
Backlit Crocuses
I deliberately selected a shallow dof because they have a translucence I like when doing so. I also wanted to highlight the centers as the yellow contrasts so well with the purple translucent colors. 1-1000th/sec, f:3.3, -1 EV, handheld but on a beanbag

  Beautiful color and glow.
Nicely composed with the flowers running on the diagonal.
The dark background sets this off quite nicely.
Very pretty, Dolores!
