The red maple in front of our house was covered with blossoms last week, and with winged seeds yesterday: https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2021/April-2021/April-Flowers/i-HJ5SkcD/A (K-5, DA 50-200) Rude jeers, thoughtful commentary, and wild applause all wecomed. Rick

Nice capture and patterns. I wanted to suggest for a second shot to get closer for a view on the propellors but most likely this taken from a height (open window) which would create a safety challenge.

Thanks, Toine. Our tree is about 10 years old, so I was able to take this from the ground, using the 50-200 almost fully zoomed out. Alas in just two days the seeds have dried and lost a lot of their color. I may play with some cropping, though.

That's gotta be one of your best ever flower photos.. wild applause.  just the right amount of sharp feature flowers and bokeh in beautiful light. But you know me and my preference for proportions that lean away from square.. I think it would be even more super if you trimmed the bottom just a bit to make the geometry even better.. so that the long soft focus branch touches the lower right corner. ann On 4/10/2021 2:00 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > The red maple in front of our house was covered with blossoms last week, and with winged seeds yesterday: > > https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2021/April-2021/April-Flowers/i-HJ5SkcD/A > > (K-5, DA 50-200) > > Rude jeers, thoughtful commentary, and wild applause all wecomed. > > Rick > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-leave@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- ann sanfedele photography https://annsan.smugmug.com https://www.cafepress.com/+ann-sanfedele+gifts https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/annsan https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/annsanfedelecalendarsandbooks
