 Went to the county park for a walk and to take some pictures. This is a leaf bud, the same one I tried to get on day 3 but it started raining. Got it today but the wind was an issue...gggrrrrrr I couldn't get focused right on the bud it seemed because of the wind. I was really tempted to break a piece off and then take pictures of it.

I know this is soft, that was the intent. Not sure on the crop though.

Nice job isolating the bud from the background. I think the crop is fine. It looks like the bud is about to burst - a sure sign of spring.

I like the softness. It is hard to get things in focus when the wind is blowing it around!

With a touch more contrast the bud and branch would really jump off that beautiful bokeh.

Wow! You'd sure never know the wind was an issue. It is perfectly sharp and still. That is such a beautiful soft setting for that intersting plant to show itself off against.

Spring has sprung Amanda - It's getting colder here and still raining - Might have to migrate

I have been shooting buds from my lilac trees But they look so tiny & lonely, I have not posted them ... I do know what you are going for. :)

A budding leaf - nice find. Could be a bit brighter as it feels gloomy.
