p.1 #1 · Warning: Contains Florals Pt II


Hello Floral Fans,

Late May and early June is a fantastic time of the year in the Edmonton area. This is when most trees are blooming, and herbaceous plants of all descriptions are making a push to the sun, and doing their best to attract the attention of pollinators with their showy reproductive parts. I only wish I had more free time to exercise my shutter finger. Here are a few more images, all from my yard.

1. Primula sp. (unknown cultivar)
http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp263/kccollett/IMG_4207.jpg
2. Dryas octopetala - mountain avens or white dryad - collected from the wild if I recall correctly
http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp263/kccollett/IMG_4193.jpg
3. Iris sp. (unknown cultivar) - This is a detail shot of the one below

4. Iris sp. (unknown cultivar) - The background of this image is a brick wall and some plants. Not ideal, but the light on the flower was quite nice.

If you enjoyed viewing the images, please let me know via a comment. If you did not, please let me know what to change or improve so you would enjoy them.

Cheers!

Ken

Lovely set Ken ! I especially like 3 and 4, that is one gorgeous iris. Love how you have captured it in the last shot.

Ken,
Very fine shots here. I most like the Iris shots. The closeup detail on number 3 is sweet but the sharpness and shadow tones of number 4 is excellent. Thanks for sharing. - RC

I really enjoyed this set Ken. I must say that the iris is a stunner. Wild iris are one of my favorites and this one rocks, super shot

Ken, a common trait for these is they appear a bit on the soft side. Still I really like the last one

Very nice comp in #1 but try to avoid distracting peek through the leafs parts.
Great job and sharpness on the whites in #2.
Love the comp in #3. It might need just a little bit more DOF and sharpness.
The last one is excellent. Very well done, Ken.
