Taking a Specky
Must be footy finals fever – looking at the ‘body language’ of these daffodils just brings to mind an Aussie Rules footballer taking a spectacular mark, or specky, on the backs of his opponents.
Kyneton Botanical Gardens on the last day of the Daffodil Festival – September 13th.

Georgie Hart replied
Hi there Landscapes Mainly, lovely of you to stop by, I’m glad you like this one! Nothing other than the lighting and conditions at the time is responsible for any ‘effect’ you see – the camera was possibly on vibrant colour mode, but there was no post processing here.
