That must have been a very enjoyable walk, Stefano! Wow, spring is so much more advanced in Andalucia... all your photos from the area make me go all wistful any time I see them, for 20 years ago it used to be around Easter I went to visit... awww *daydreaming*

Oh. Erm. Sorry. I was actually replying to your post.

So... I really like the first for a) its colours, b) it's point-of-view (you crouching down to be in line with the flowers), and c) the chosen narrow DOF (depth of field).

I like the lighting in 2, it suggests you were out early in the morning, or when the sun went down again.

Photo 3 looks very much like one of the two plum trees in our front garden, which had blossoms way too early this spring, at a time when no bee nor bumblebee was out and about as yet, so no plums in summer...

And Photo 4 is green, ... do I have to say more???

hey corinna, thanks for the comments, you should come down south again

as for weather, spring has cme up early but we've also had very bad weather around this region especially during easter when loads of religious celebrations had to be cancelled..

as i speak the sun is out, which i am thankful for because i have these very nice orange flowers just outside my house, was gonna photograph them yesterday but then it got cloudy and they closed up

thanks a lot for the nice comments, just a few funny things, on the first the plants were actually elevated so i was standing upright haha

and i took this walk mid afternoon, you're correct in that it looks (in #2) like its early morning, dunno what happened haha (hasn't been edited either)

wasn't very sure on photo 4 and took like 50 of the same subject and chose the best, it just didnt cme out how i wanted, that was the closest!

anyway, im glad you liked the photos, and thanks a lot for the nice comments

will post some more up very soon
