Purple Crocuses Photo

Photographer’s Note

A macro shot some flowers in my garden, I'm not a flower person, but if someone would tell me what flowers these are, i will change the Title to that. The photo is not entirely in focus and its a shame because since the photo was taken a car has driven over them and squashed them flat.

Sorry can't help you with the name of these flowers. My brain has trouble making focus on this image. yhe 3D effect is troubling. It is like the flowers were poping out. Well seen.

I really like your angle and the colors are spactacular. There is a bit of a problem with focus here - it doesn't look blury, but it's not sharp as well... strange thing...

I think those are called 'crocus' (at least in french, sorry) and you did a great job there.

Great. I really like these flowers the varigated purple is pretty oonly in nature would that purple and red go well together. I wsi you had not cut off the flower on the right. Very well seen and well captured. The focus does not bother me a bit.

Great macro shot with good colours and lighting. These flowers are called Crocus. If it's too windy for taking photos of flowers, you could make a wind barrier out of a piece of white cardboard.

Wow! This works in so many levels. The color is fantastic. The way the flowers slant is very harmonious and easy to the eye. The clarity of the foreground flower is excellent. DOF is good too. It's very well composed.
