Daffodil 2

Posted by Melissa W. (Warsaw, Indiana, United States) on 16 March 2008 in Plant & Nature.

Since Spring isn't here in Indiana just yet, I decided to cheat. ;) I visited the Botanical Conservatory in Fort Wayne on Thursday. It was wonderful to see some real flowers for a change.

This is great shot. By placing the focal point far to the left, you've made an interesting space to the right. This works very well.

@Graham Russon: I was happy with the composition, but still not thrilled with the selective focus, but I was rushed and only had time for one shot. Thanks for the comment, Graham. :)

@danthro: They were the tiniest daffodils I'd ever seen...very petite and delicate. I would've liked to have gotten more shots of them, but I was rushed. I'd like to go back up there soon and take more photos.
