Winters Essence

Winters Essence

Title thanks to my husband…

I was stumped and when I asked my husband for a suggestion for the title he said the daisies were natures beauty and shone amongst a gloomy winters day, which to him is the essence of winter.

    You did a nice job of capturing the detail in the white petals without overexposing. White can be difficult,especially in the wrong kind of daylight. Very nice DOF displayed here with the BG in beautiful soft focus. Your aperture is set well. You definitely have an eye for composition.

    May be…
    They are of the Crisanthemus variety..
    and that are the flowers that we here in Spain use for the Day of the Death… the November the first..and they are brought to the cemeteries.. in crowns , pots or arrangaments.
    Yours are soft… soft.. and soft.. I cannot say any more.
