PLAY March - Fuji 60mm f/2.4: Cliché Cliché! by vignouse

PLAY March - Fuji 60mm f/2.4: Cliché Cliché!

A photograph of snowdrops covered in rain-drops is indeed a photographic cliché but it is also a 'jeux de mots' - a play on words - as cliché is also the French term for a snap!

This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for March it's the Fujinon 60mm f/2.4 Macro on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Fuji XT2) - the equivalent of a 90mm lens on a full-frame camera.

View on black? I think so...
Lovely shot,

Really fresh shot.
Zesty, may or may not be a word I'm using it anyway.

Pretty, like the lighting.

Lovely. The lighting showed off these blooms and the drops of water.

Fabulous focus. Love the dark edges.

Love the delicacy in the image, and that we can see the raindrops.

So lovely.

Love the delicacy of this. Snowdrops always fill me with hope. A big, big fav.

5 * Splendid!

wonderful lighting

@ceilidh It's a shame that you can't see the lane bank opposite our front door then as it is a sea of white, literally hundreds of blooms. They've been out for a month so are now coming to an end... but the daffodils are just beginning to open.

Beautiful capture.
March 5th, 2017  
This is beautiful. Super image, truly.
March 5th, 2017  
Beautiful!

These delicate flowers always seem to make for a beautiful shot. We do not have any here in Maine.
March 5th, 2017  
A most fabulous shot, never knew about cliche' but makes sense.
March 5th, 2017  
Cliché or not, they are still beautifully captured :)
March 5th, 2017  
Nice. Rather understated (p.s. they look quite good in B&W -- I tried that button on my monitor).
March 5th, 2017  
Beautiful capture! fav

Seems to me it's not a cliché in any sense of the word. Simply a beautiful shot. Fav

@yrhenwr Thank you kind Sir... as a matter of interest, the right hand side was occupied by a socking great Ivy leaf which I removed and replaced with something more sympathetic.

Raindrops on snowdrops might be cliche, but as we don't get them here in Chicago and they remind me of home, I enjoy shots like this!
