Spring

Wild Daffodils just starting to show in the spring light growing next to a stream,
my dilemma should I have moved/removed the diagonal twig, thought about it at the time I was setting up the shot, left it in as its natural and in the wild, was I right?

Lovely capture

[Hazel]

I would also have left it. The focus is on the beautiful daffodils anyway.

[Peggy Scroggins]

You were right to leave the twig. It's natural.

[Sue]

I think I would have moved it. But it's hardly noticeable and the daffodils are lovely

[Babs]

I would have moved it.

[Ron]

If viewed on white, I would have removed it. If viewed on black, I would have left it. How's that for diplomatic? On black it's a spectacular capture!

@cmp Thank you for your comment Catherine:)

@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel I just was not sure:)

[Peter]

@miata2u Thank you Peggy that was my thinking at the time:)

[Peter]

@suesouthwood Thank you Sue may have to go back in a day or two when more Daffodils are out:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you Babs, its always a dilemma I find when taking a shot, I tender to remove rubbish/clutter and leave natural things in:)

[Peter]

@stray_shooter Ha Ha very diplomatic indeed, thanks for your comment Ron its an interesting thought, possible for competition leave it in then :)

loving the colours, especially the leaves/stems of the daffies, very realistic.. it is a fab composition with a lovely bokeh backdrop.. i also spy old and dried beech leaves which are a perfect foil for the green leaves.. there are other, fresh, leaves here too - all is bursting forth with glee..
i must admit to not being a stranger to a little spot of 'gardening'. i carry pegs and strings to help remove offenders, out of frame.. that way i don't destroy them, just don't include them..
i think another look-see will reveal many more flowers waiting to be immortalised by your good self.. :-)..

@jorlam Thank you for your wonderful comments Jorlam you sound very much more organised than I am on a field trip, thank goodness for articulated live view screens, yet sill had to use a plastic bag to get down to it, I will return to this location in the week:)

I would have removed it Peter. One of the practice shots I was going to post last night had a similar obtrusion that I hadn't noticed when I took the shot and so I posted the ant shot.

@terryliv Thanks for your advise Terry its amazing how many times you find things in the shot that you don't notice at the time, happens to me all the time, lol:)
