Ahhhh . . . the May Apple.
Haven't seen one in years!
Lovely quiet shot of the early spring and its budding glory.
Thanks.
Pardon my presumption but have you ever tried shooting one from underneath to capture it's flower with the light streaming through in the background? It's easier on a hillside and makes for a lovely shot.
I love the pattern you found with all of these leaves and the dappled light emphasizes the depth of the scene. I like also the stick straight trees in the background. Good balance with the disorganized stuff in the foreground.
Nice use of wide angle and my god, a photo that meets the challenge..
I like the vertical lines that create a pattern in the top quarter of the image.. This may not do as well as it deserves, but its a good effort none the less.
