[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Spring at last, but ever since I took this photo weather hasn't been really spring-like, I'm afraid. Blue skies are a rather rare, rain however comes abundantly.

Nature needs all that water, of course... but every once in a while it would be nice to have a sunny day ;o)

Tech talk

Croppity-crop, to a near-square format.

Adjustment layers for levels and curves.

Shadows & highlights.

Burn brush here and there to eliminate some disturblingly bright spots.

Downsized and framed with some home-recorded PS actions.

Prachtige lente foto, Frank.
Waar jij bij mijn foto het spinnedraadje te veel vond, vind ik de onscherpe takken to scherp, beter iets meer wegpoeten, toch ?
1 / 1, zal ik maar zeggen.
Regards van Jan

So spring has sprung!!!
I love these trees with their new spring growth. And soon the leaves will appear and then summer has arrived.
Lovely shot Frank, so pretty and colourful

Nice colors on this close up with some soft light.
Going to Antwerpen tomorrow, so I hope the weather has cleared up over there.

Hi Frank

Nice use of a shallow dof, with warm colors, & good sharpness. Tfs!

Heerlijk Frank, hier zie ik echt voorjaar - geen zorgen, het weer is weer aan het opknappen.

Erg prettige kleuren en aantrekkelijk gebruik van DOF. Ik houd inderdaad van het bijna vierkante formaat - heb je echt alles gebruikt aan ruimte...

Frank
Mooi lente stukje

Deze vind ik veel beter geslaagd dan de paardenstaarten. Het onderwerp komt er goed uit, en de aandacht wordt bijna niet afgeleid door storende details. (een kleintje nog rechtsonder).
Het lijnenspel is strak en geometrisch . Dat ademt rust uit.

Hi Frank,
Great sharpness, DOF and detail. The lighting and colors excellent.
Well done,
TFS,
Vassilis

De prille moeder-natuur met haar fragiele spruiten.
