First Springtime Flowers

Although the arrival of Spring means that I’ll be seeing flowers more and more, I was still surprised when I saw these purple blooms.  The grass around the flowers was completely dead, yet the flowers were perfect.  In fact, when I tried to edit this image, it didn’t improve the quality of the photograph. I decided to leave the image untouched.

I love the contrasting colours in this image. The orange hints inside the purple flowers look stunning together.  Although I wanted to showcase the flowers further away, the bunch closest to me was better for photographing.  Therefore, I kept the other flowers in the foreground, and focused on the flowers closest to me.  I kept the leaves from Autumn and grass in the picture (instead of cropping most of it out) to add texture and bring everything together.
