Hi Eugenio ,
Incredible sharp and clear image . I love the details in it . Vibrant colors and very good background . When looking at this photo , I have a feeling of grabbing the flower , which seems to exit from my monitor and enter my room . Also I love the contrast you got here from the live(flower) and the dead(leaf at the background). Beautiful composition and technically flawless . Thanks for sharing .
Best Regards Zeliha .

I follow Reinold with his rating, rather than the rest who all have great points. I just love this shot! For me this is perfect but who am I? The background is beautifully muted in tone yet perfectly clear. The alost triangular shape of the flowers makes this a compositionally very strong element. The sharpness and colours are perfect and the sheer simplicity of this natural capture are just a treat for the visual senses. Thank you Eugenio, for posting this one.

Ciao Eugenio!I like much this composition with this tender fall of small,well sharp and white flowers against the beautiful background that by the colors remembers still the autumn or the winter.Very good DOF and lighting.To me personally I had liked, as it mentions it Maree,a less sharp background so that it contrasts better with the main subject that they are the flowers.Test with an more opened diaphragm..But it is a lovely and baeutiful first signs in spring.Complimenti!Best regards,Marta

One beautiful photo. The light that hits the flowers offers a sense of change of the seasons. Optimal contrast and good exposure. The cut of the photo is good. It compliments

Una bella foto. La luce che colpisce i fiori aumenta il senso di passaggio tra inverno e primavera. Buono l'esposizione e buon taglio. Complimenti

Nice, tender simple scene, with, really, the guessed taste of spring's beginning, with the signs of winters dying behind these delicate flowers.
Maybe I should prefer a little of more lightness, but the idea of this composition is surely good. Ciao.

Ciao Eugenio, I love this shot. Beautiful contrast betwen flowers and leaves, this is also the cotrast betwen spring and winter. Beautiful light, sharpness and composition. Very beautiful "primule".

Ciao Eugenio, questa foto mi piace tanto perchè non solo hai colto il contrasto tra le primule e le foglie secche ma anche il contrasto tra la primavera e l'inverno. Buona giornata Anna

Hi Eugenio, you must be overjoyed that spring is around the corner. I like the contrast between the flowers in full bloom against those dried leaves, like a revelation of the emerging spring in the forefront and the passing away of winter in the background. The cluttered background looks fine to me as it's of a homogeneous brown. The subtle lighting enhances the pastel shades of the flowers. Kind regards, Fong

Hello Eugenio. At first glance one notices the light quality and sharpness. The colors are very natural appearing and overall a high quality reproduction. Composition-wise I think it wise to eliminate up to and including the bottom most blossom, with the resulting composition giving more emphasis and attention to the lovely flowers. Best regards, Lamar.

Hello Eugenio - this is a lovely shot, I am envious that you are approaching Spring, we are in Autumn heading for Winter, yuk LOL. The flowers (I think these are primroses)are great, nice and sharp and their natural flow against the bark adds to the shot. imho I would like to have the bark less sharp, I feel that the flowers are fighting a bit with the background. Just my thoughts, great shot, regards Maree

Three things I loved about this photograph 1) To the point. Subject fills the frame with enough room to breathe 2) The contrast between the gentle, elegant flowers and the rough, dry background 3) Good exposure. Captured the texture of the dry leaves and the delicate flowers Great eye. I wish I would stumble upon sights like this more often I wish you had cleared the dry leaf off the leftmost flower, though
