biglouis Posted December 26, 2010 Share #1  Posted December 26, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) My wife is a bit of an authority on the forcing of bulbs, mostly hyacinth but also crocus. She always prepares a display for ye olde midwinter festival. This is her first crocus to come to flower. I prefer to shoot with a certain whimisical feel when it comes to flowers but my wife prefers realism, hence the two versions.  GF-1 Leica DG Elmariot 45/2.8 Macro  Soft version (f3.2) [ATTACH]236793[/ATTACH]  Sharp version (f8) [ATTACH]236794[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
