Budding oak tree?

Our U3A photography leaders had negotiated free entrance to Audley End if we could prove we were having an 'educational trip'. They gave us a sheet with several challenges including depth of field in the garden, macro flowers with out of focus background and a compositional tree image. I'm not sure which category this one comes under but I quite liked it. Thanks to the organisers and to the staff for allowing us all free entrance to the house and gardens.

[Dianne]

Gorgeous.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Beautiful Judith !

Lovely shot.. covers both macro and dof I would say.

[Rosie Kind]

I agree with Julia it covers both

[Ann Williams]

Whichever it falls into, it is rather lovely. Unusual to see that lower knarled shell on the bottom of the acorn. Sounds like a good day.

[Karen]

Beautiful

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice shot

[Maggiemae]

I would imagine this place would normally have a fee to enter! A great history with a bit of royalty attached! This is like a hand holding the acorn so tightly!

[Fisher Family]

A lovely close-up, great dof & focus!

[Jane Pittenger]

Perfect dof and greens

Great focus. I like it too. I've never seen a acorn quite like it.

[Phil Howcroft]

[wendy frost]

Wonderful capture a brilliant acorn find and an out of focus background Fav.

Great detail in that shot.

[Hayley Maxwell]

Really lovely. Nice focus on the acorn and dof.

[Babs]

Beautiful, from little things big things grow.

I'd say macro & blurred background.
Super shot.
Are these 'educational shots' being shown at next meeting?
