Looks like the East Coast may have a spring after all...

Good news ! My camera can shoot colors other than blue! ( e.g. My Philly thread... )

Spring Daffodils.

Handheld, lying on the ground, EF 100mm f/2.8 lens

Shots are OOF, distracting backgrounds and need backlighting.

Sorry jim, that chain link fence is killing you on these.

Compositionally, the middle image is the best. If that is the only one close by for you to shoot, consider sticking a black poster board behind to avoid the fence. You could also add some more light since it looks under exposed. A hint from the built-in flash might help or take an aluminum baking sheet (shiny, not the grey kind) to bounce light back onto the flower head.
