There were some wonderful colours in the sky in the west. I thought I'd have a go at getting the Daffs backdropped with this light.

John, those are excellent!!, I love them both but find myself drawn to the 2nd image most of all. Excellent exposure, colour, omposition, and of course focus which draws the eye to the main subject. Those have the wow factor!. Great photography.  Smiley

Just gone through these again - I study your macro, John and I should have mentioned the bokeh  in this last one- it's perfect, the  colour  of it is perfect too - I'd print  and mount this one if I were you and present it to your wife at Easter - if you do Easter (eggs and all)
