Thanx jpo. This is part of a large series I have done that is specifically working with gaussian blur and haloes. Some work better than others.

This is lovely. I really like the soft colors and the dof. The simplicity of it makes the shot. My only nitpick would be the halo around the bud. I think it's distracting.

Hello Bear Music,

This photo, "backlit marsh, spring" is superb as a far as texture and lighting go. Was this an early morning or evening shot? Is there anything unique about how the photo was taken or edited?

I'm new to this site and this is the first chance I've had to browse some of the work. It really is incredible.

David

A lovely image. The rich contrast help accent the lighted parts and the sweeping pale orange wgich fadws going left brings the eye right back. Truly an outstanding image.

I've never seen this pulled off quite like you present here. The water surface looks almost metallic, and is in razor-sharp focus, as are the reflected trees. Quite amazing, really!
