ah, the first macros of spring

I didn't think I'd want to do any more macro flower photos, but I shot some today.  The daffodils in our back yard started blooming yesterday.  And I suppose since I started my macro stuff last summer, I didn't get a chance to photograph any of the spring flowers.  So maybe I'll shoot a little more until I come to the flowers I've already macro-ed...

This batch is the first edit of what I shot.  The more I look at them, the more I'll probably edit out.  A few are pretty similar... but for now, these are my favorites.

Happy First Day of Spring!

PS: no heavy Photoshop here, just some minor levels and color adjustments... (the only exception is the last image, which was pretty underexposed, so I played a bit with it.  I kinda like how it came out)

Whoville...

I think of all photos I've taken of morning glories, these are my favorites.  Especially the purple ones.  I don't think I need or want to photograph any more morning glories.  (Or, any more flowers for that matter!)
Of these, my favorites are the last two.  I can't decide which one I like best.

spiral-y macro morning glories

I'm digging these about-to-open morning glories... I love the shallow depth-of-field... Although I think the pink ones may need a square crop... maybe...
