Just for Show B&W Yellow Poppy

[Julian de'Courcy]

The weather has been very good of late, I took a trip to our local National trust property Landrock House where the borders are just about to burst into full colour. Despite the colour I thought the light and shape with a shallow depth of field is sometimes enough. First picture post here so I hope it works.

These are very nice Julian. I like the soft tones you have used and the strong highlight in the second one.

Love the first. You have to be a brave man to desaturate spring colours, but it worked here, beautifully.

 

[Peter McCullough]

Very nice, love the contrast, superb!

Number 1 is a beauty! I love the bokeh.

 

[Lesley Jones]

They are both beautiful, but the first is my favourite

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Thank you all for the kind words.

Beauties! Both of them...
Not 100% they need the wider crop and the second one I may have been tempted to frame off centre but these are minor critisms of very pretty photos!!
