We found this little group of crocuses while taking a walk in the morning a few days ago.
EDIT: Many thanks to Jason (from jasonpix) for choosing this photo as his favorite for the Tuesdays Photos theme 'Flower'.
Lovely image. I really like the overall color tone. Otto K @ 2006-April-1 17:13
What a beautiful tone! I haven't seen crocuses in person since I lived up north. I planted them the year before we moved south...saw them bloom once. micki @ 2006-April-1 19:36
Like the others the tone of this lovely shot is great. Has it been fully desturated then toned to your taste or partially desaturated. Mal Mal @ 2006-April-1 20:55
Thanks guys!
@Mal: Good question :)
This is a combination of two HDR images created with different methods, plus two different and partially transparent gradient map layers. sknop @ 2006-April-1 21:18
Love. Loving this! I have an obsession with droplets of late. delicate and they just say "life giving"too me. Great post processing too. Excellent composition also. mooch @ 2006-April-1 22:04
Wonderful shot, thank you for the info. I only asked because i'm jealous, more please. Mal Mal @ 2006-April-1 22:48
Beautiful. The translucent look of the flower plus the clear water droplets are just so lovely! gck @ 2006-April-2 05:35
really beautiful, it looks like a mystic flower that is about to born, the droplets add a real feeling of purity Julien @ 2006-April-11 01:53
