This Spring Snowflake (Leucojum Vernum) is one of the hardest flowers to capture I have found.......I am not entirely happy with this one and there is some pollen staining of the petals, but I thought I'd give it an airing.
As I mentioned before this small flower is NOT related to snowdrops, but rather to the large decorative Amaryllis.
My thanks as always to all who commented on Lily.
Ronnie.

Composition is excellent and also the composition Ronnie, it is sharp where it should be and lighting excellent my friend.

Excellent shot Ronnie,beautiful image,well done..Lin
Not an easy subject Ronnie, because of all the whites, but I don't think you've done badly with it mate....Next time try dropping the exposure by half a stop or so and see if that keeps the burned out areas under control a little better......Still a very worthy image of an upload though mate....

excellent light and exposure - I believe it must be tricky to take such an upside down flower
Hard to get it perfect when you're this close Ronnie, I'm never as happy in this close, it's anew world for me. You're in my favourites queue next to Pete the Editor's image this morning.
