Spring Flowers

Walking home from the playground, the grandchildren & I spotted some spring flowers that are finally in bloom.

These 2 are taken with the EOS-M w/EF-M 22mm f/2 STM & 1 grandson jumping on my back.

Re: Spring Flowers

Posted the yellow flower on another forum and was given a suggestion to bump up the whites a tad, then add a brush to the flower, then increase the highlights till it starts to lose detail and do the same for the shadows.

Tried that and here are the results:



WDYT?

Excellent set Tom, why they are posted on this forum, reduce sharpness and contrast?!

Re: Spring Flowers

Nice flowers Tom I hope your back survived OK, I am afraid I would personally disagree with the other forum I like the Daf as it was in the first image.

Re: Spring Flowers

The first is the better image. As for a grandson on your back how about a dog tugging on a lead held in your right hand - works sometimes!

Re: Spring Flowers

I too prefer the original daffodil.
Both nice and a sign of warmer weather to come.

Grandchildren are a great excuse for yourself going on the swing, sea-saw etc.. just like making sandcastles on a beach

Absolutely agree with you Stephen. They make entering the fall of one's like much more enjoyable IMO. Thanks for stopping by.

Re: Spring Flowers

Me too, like the detail in the petals of no.1, which is being lost in #2, also prefer the colour which is more natural looking. Our spring flowers are trying to bloom here, but it is snowing again today
