Lilac Burst

Rochesters' Highland Park boasts the most dense collection of Lilac bushes in the world! Being there close to noon made for some hard lighting situations but I think this shot turned out alright!

Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! For those who love the scent you would have been in heaven- the air was literally infused with it!

@grammyn The beautiful light was adjusted by me. Every now and then I get inspired to play with sliders and different settings. I think I worked with the shading first and then brought the exposure down. The original was quite bright. Do lilacs not grow in your area?

[Pyrrhula]
