I love the minimalist look of this photo. You did a great job of creating that windblown effect. And having been in a 30-day challenge with you before. . .I think we are going to see some beautiful photos from you on our journey :)

i love your title, how it relates so well to your first day in the b&w, and the image itself ... interesting photograph and i'm wondering if its lying on something or caught on the wind ... which'd make the title even better ... love the different contrasts and textures ..

Spring!

Comment by purpleflutterby13:
Wow, I love this! Beautiful colours, and I love the contrast between the vivid colours of the flowers and the gray/brown fallen leaves around them. Although it's a bit confusing conceptually - a strange struggle between autumn and spring.

It seems a shame that the lowest flower is in shadow, maybe moving the leaf would've helped? Otherwise a very good image.

This is a lovely, quiet shot that doesn't get the attention it deserves in a free study. Looks to have been a gorgeous day!

I thought this was a nice shot. Looks a lot like Michigan.
