Standing out from the crowd

Gareth and I went to Aylesbury this afternoon to pick up his prints and buy some bits and pieces for his photo scrapbook. We spent a little time in the old part of town. This crocus was one on its own in a drift of aconites in the church yard.
I stood on a path below the level of the churchyard ground to get this. No way could I have got all the way down to the same level as the flowers then got back up again. :-D

Very pretty!!

[Arthur Loosley]

Nice shot, Alison, and I can identify with your feelings ... especially about "getting up again"!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@layladolphin Thank you :-)

@wordpixman Thank you, Arthur. Yes, getting *down* isn't the problem, is it?!

[Jennifer C]

cool, great POV and title! Great to see the winter flowers in the UK

[Julie Purnell]

Great find! Wonderful focus.

[Milanie]

I love this shot - the color of the crocus against the yellow is wonderful. What a beautiful churchyard! THIS is a picture of spring-a-coming.

[Jim]

GROW, little fella! GROOOWWWW!

[Terry Beigie]

Neat perspective!

[Isla Wight]

Nice depth of field, liking the getting low down technique - I often get down and can't get back up again these days ...

[Brian Baptie]

Gorgeous!!

[Jean Tookey]

Great POV. Spring is on its way. Beautiful capture.

[Vivienne Rorie]

Lovely shot, great DOF

[Tammie]

Getting up is always the issue. Love this shot. Really glad you found a way around the "up" issue.

[CHARLES MALLIA]

[Fiz]

I really like the focus and DOF. Spring is definitely on its way.

[Hamble]

I love the point of view this is taken from. A lovely spring-like shot.

[Netkonnexion]

Thats beautiful. Well taken.

[Susan Bell]

Nice selective focus. Like it.
Forgot to ask you about your back last night; how is it doing? My hip was horrible overnight and this morning. Bursitis, I think? Though that would imply that I had been doing something athletic!!!!!!

[Jen Hudson]

Pretty take of the crocus, love the soft focus of the aconites.

[Taephy]

a beautiful shot!
