First Blossom (Pentax SMC 50mm f1.7 Vintage lens)

Shot a couple of weeks ago at Arnot Hill Park.

The first blossom.

This blossom is tiny , about the size of a 2p coin.

Shot with a vintage lens, the Pentax SMC 50mm f1.7.

Shot quite wide open to get the bokeh, edited in darktabel / GIMP.

Looks OK to me

Looks ok to me too Phil....a very welcome sight in this horrid weather...poor little flower will be blown down by now! Great macro & DOF.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done.

Looks fine to me, Phil. Now is the time for taking shots of flowers in the Northern Hemisphere.
