Snowdrop Hill by vignouse

Snowdrop Hill

In the last week, 'tout 365' seems to have borrowed, bought, begged or stolen a fisheye lens and produced some fabulous images with them. All this alternative activity prompted me to dig mine out of the camera bag and so here's my much more modest offering - a very small sample of some of the snowdrops covering the bank opposite our front door, with a crowning glory of daffodils. You can see from the sky what glorious weather we had today... most unseasonal.
Fabulous! Love the effect and am so jealous of all those beautiful snow drops! :) Fav

Beautiful! Looking very spring-like, and all these fish-eye images are bringing on a bit of lens envy.

Haven seen these lovely flowers all over 365 I will be on the look out for them here if all the snow ever melts. The sky swirl is so beautiful.
March 10th, 2015  
Yeah, this is pretty darned amazing. Great way to incorporate the fish eye. Definite fav.

Wonderful shot! Those clouds are the perfect backdrop for the subject.
March 10th, 2015

March 10th, 2015  
Wow! I love all of those snowdrops, first sign of spring. The clouds are wonderful as well.

Wow, Richard, wow!

Wonderful shot of all those pretty snowdrops! Love the pop of yellow daffodils and that beautiful blue sky with those great clouds. I might not have noticed the fisheye effect had you not mentioned using your lens. It does add a neat subtle effect.
March 10th, 2015  
Nice. I love the sky here!
March 10th, 2015  
Great perspective. The fisheye give it a unique and interesting look
March 10th, 2015  
How pretty! Our wether is back in the 80's I think we has 3 days of winter this year!
March 10th, 2015  
yes very pretty
March 10th, 2015  
Super title and a super capture!
March 10th, 2015  
Did you process the sky in any way? It looks painted!
March 10th, 2015  
Lovely spring scene and neat processing.
March 10th, 2015  
@whimsicalgrateful I increased clarity for the entire image which has sharpened the edge definition some, but the sky is pretty much the way it was... indeed, the amazing sky is why I chose this PoV.
March 10th, 2015  
Richard, this should be enlarged, framed and displayed, it is so magnificent! Best fisheye shot on 365 and a big fav!
March 10th, 2015  
Stunning fish eye shot and such wonderful detail. You always manage to get this great focus and detail in all your shots Richard. It's something I aspire to but way to go yet!
March 10th, 2015  
Lovely fish eye shot! Love the Pov and the white snowdrops on the hill!
March 11th, 2015  
Wht a fabulous array of snowdrops, love it.
March 11th, 2015  
Oh, look at them all!! fav
March 12th, 2015  
Its a fabulous pov and made me smile when I saw it on the PP. Now I am jealous that I do not have a fisheye - might have to try the wide angle this weekend ....fav
March 12th, 2015  
That is a lot of snowdrops but the small clump of daffodils makes it for me
March 12th, 2015  
I like the POV
March 12th, 2015  
Yes, and a lot of 365ers have posted snowdrop shots.....it seems that the ground is coming alive with these flowers that are somewhere between snow cover and spring awakening! Glorious shot! Have been thinking of getting a fisheye.....what do you use?
March 13th, 2015  
Beautifully done, Richard.

@vignousefollower Hey Matt - don't define yourself in relation to someone else, even if he is such a brilliant photographer! :-)
