Hello Shelly, good timing for your new lens, with all the new life outside? I like this compo with the main attraction on all 2/3rds.
The twigs give an interesting pattern to it.

Congratulations on being a grandmother again!

Cheers, Herman

Aw yes... the budding of spring flowers. Soon it will be summer with the flowers gone and fresh fruits and berries abounding. Good use of DOF here to isolate these beauties from the tangle of vines and what not in the background. Focus on the central subject is good too while showing the structure of the brances in sufficient detail.

Bonsoir, mon amie Shelly,
Une fleur qui naît à la vie, un petit-enfant annoncé, la joie d'être grand-mère une nouvelle fois, n'est-ce pas cela qui fait le bonheur de l'existence.
La qualité photographique est excellente.
Bravo pour cette réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Shelly. Well arranged and cropped to show new life emerging after the winter cold. Extremely clear with good colours. An effective frame, good idea. TFS. Murray.

Hi Shelly,

This is a really wonderful shot .. my favorite part is the way the bulbs are present at different stages of opening .. so looking into the distant depths of the image is almost like looking back in time.

congrats on the coming wee person.

take care,

John

Hi, Shelly ~~

What a magnificent shot! And, you chose the perfect perspective to get the conglomerate of twigs for the muted background to this brilliant bud. I do love this!!

Peace to you
Tracy
