of an old sheet, some straw flowers, Helicrysum, are surviving the cold. They may just make it to spring if I'm careful.

And some are not doing so well.

Be of good cheer! Spring will return!

Thanks for looking.

Love the flow of #1 Kenny, but you might want to think about cropping about a half inch from the top of this image.

Spring...hmmm....seems really far away!

The first image is a winner, Kenny (I second Therese's cropping suggestion). Great DOF on this, and the amazing details in the foreground.

It would probably have to do with the little OOF green leaf at the top of the image...that's my guess

Dick, Jim is correct as far as my reasoning for the suggested crop -- just a personal preference. To keep the aspect ratio the same, I would also crop a little off the left side as well.

Thanks everyone, appreciate it.

And for those suggesting a crop:

Afraid it'll take more than a crop to help my florals...if I get a good one, it's usually pure dumb luck.
