Beautiful little flowers. I eagerly await the first sign of flowers here.

They do have a wonderful dreamy quality to them! Lovely!

I like their dreamy quality & the hint of dark woodland in the bg. Beautiful.

They really pop in that deeply filtered light. So nice and soft.

These really pop against that dark background. Excellent find. They even seem to glow.

Great treatment Lee, it really suits the subject, particlarly with that dark background. Nice one.
Jola Dziubinska23-Mar-2006 18:09
Very well done, especially I like the dark and blurry backgroud. The snowdrops just emerge from the darkness and glow happily.
Yes, they certainly are celebraiting Spring :)
