April 2026 - Daffodil
Original
About the Image(s)
Spring and the return of flowers (even at the neighbors' house). I found the light (6:00 PM, March 9th, almost sunset) beautiful and this (alone) daffodil also beautiful. The "beauty" of the simplicity. I was (almost) lying on the ground.
LR: no crop... Highlight (-100). Texture and Clarity (+30). I used a mask on the background (-100 for the Texture & Clarity), and made some correction in the upper right corner.

This is really eye catching. I love the stripes of color in the background and by eliminating the back left trees, you have such a nice composition. Posted: 04/05/2026 20:45:29
Well done. It really pops off the page. I'm also looking at some future minimalistic photo. Perfect opportunity this winter. Lotta white. But it was too damn cold to go out. lol
Great shot. Posted: 04/06/2026 23:14:56

A good shot. The LR job well done. Nice blurry background. Posted: 04/07/2026 15:53:53
Hi Vincent: Kind of a selective focus image, the green stems are rather soft, however the yellow flower seems reasonably sharp. I think the picture would be improved if you darkened down the very light green at the top, this would make the yellow flower stand out even better. Posted: 04/09/2026 02:32:18
Thanks Murphy.
I forgot to mention the tech data. Aperture was et f/4,5, which is low. I see it on the petals.
Ok for the green in the back. Posted: 04/14/2026 07:53:50
