Its amazing what trickery one can get up to. I like the use of your cushion as a backdrop and your notes. Ingenuity is the greatest talent, well done.

Well, if you didn't tell us about it I suppose no one would guess ;-) Excellent pp work! The macro itself is very good, sharp with well saturated colours. Well done.

And I suppose you bought the daffodil at the florist and brought the snow in from the garden and took this in your bathroom? Well, whatever, it is what it's all about. And the colours are superb and warm and this little daffodil will now live forever - isn't that a wonder of nature also?

I thought it was the clear sky, Adrian! How clever to think of that. It worked well. Your photo is very sharp and an excellent macro. Congrats....:O) Kat

What a lovely cushiony blue sky. Did you really take the cushion outside for this. As you say, we can create a scene anyway we want to, and I must add that I think this was a creative idea.
I was born and raised in Staines, not too far from you. If ever you go there, take a pic for me please, so I can walk down memory lane.

We don't have to go far away for a shot, in winter the garden is a great area and you used some useful tools to make this one and you succeeded very well, it's a great shot !

A beautiful show of the daffodil Adrian, you don't see too many with the orange coloured trumpets, usually they are all yellow, or maybe with a paler trumpet (or is that the narcissus). Thank you for showing us the 'set-up' for your shot, that is very interesting - hope you didn't get that nice pale blue cushion too dirty on the wet patio. Very creative idea in setting it up like that.

Many thanks for a wonderfull note Adrian. You are far more advanced then me, that is for sure. I don't even have an external flash yet hehe. Belive it or not but i was thinking of you just the other day (without having been at your Trek portfolio), I was having an idea for a citrus macro when it stroke me from where the idea came...It was your "Fruit punch" So, consequently, i'll have to come up with something else for the citrus macro. I am being picky now, only cause i happen to think you are great ;-) but i miss something. I can't define what really, obly i know you can do better. It is technically as goos as it gets and can be but it lacks some punch. And tis is when you will reply...hey...did you see the WS...what the wheater was like and what the scene actually look like...cut me some slack will you ;-) You really did a great transformation. often my scenes look liek that as well. The rest is hidden behind whatever i hae at ahnd at the moment.

TFS and take care.

Una imagen muy bella. Me gusta la composición y técnicamente está perfecta.
Representa a la fragilidad de la naturaleza soportando el terrible frio del invierno. Muchas gracias por tus comentarios

A very beautiful image. I like the composition and technically it is perfect. It represents the fragility of the terrible nature supporting the cold one of the winter. Thank you very much by your commentaries

Hello Adrian
Very nice " Narcissus".If you didn't tell us about the photo,I would think it was a sunny day and the background was a swimming pool, never a bleu cushion.
Excelent and creative work.Many thanks for sharing.
