Ingrid, I like this. The softness seems to indicate the delicateness of the flower, and the pastel color BG supports the flower well. Interesting shot.
Classic look at one of the first signs of spring. The softness is nice, but I wish for a bit more crispness somewhere in the flower itself. Quite a gauzy look at a herald of spring. Oh and you might consider lightening the stem a little bit.
Ingrid: My thoughts pretty much echo @Kris_Smith although I do like the soft shallow DOF presentation. I also especially like the pastel BG. My camera doesn’t support multiple exposures so I envy you the capability and the results you got here. >=))>
@Dennis_Plank@Shirley_Freeman Thanks so much for your comments and sorry for my late reply. @Bill_Fach: Yes, I love multiple exposures. Often I take photos with and without and the ones I tend to keep, are the multiple exposures. This mainly for forest, field and macro photography, not for my wildlife photography! @Kris_Smith It’s not easy to find the right balance between soft and crisp, especially when using a vintage lense which is what I did here. But it’s a challenge to find a way to improve on that.
Thanks again, Ingrid.
a painting ..i would say …as always ..love this one
