Hi everyone. I have to close this a couple of hours early or else I won't be able to get to it until sometime late tomorrow.

That said, nice bunch of images and they all show me signs of spring. There were a few that came close to a 3 way tie for first, but the winner is Robuk.

Congrats and please start the next round as soon as you can.

[Stefan A]

Congratulations Robuk. As soon as I saw that shot I knew it would be the winner. Great job.

Congrats Robuk !! That was a wonderful shot, and those daffodils surrounding that magnificent tree with such a beautiful sky for a BG - WOW !! I also knew you would win.

I just love this! How did you make it look this way if you don't mind me asking...was it a ps action or some steps you did?

[monty28428]

Congrats Robuk! Nice shots everyone.

it was actually done in lightroom. vignetter all the way. half midpoint. and just darkened it a tad to my liking. but honestly nothing much else.. it was a dark cloudy day as well.. so that might have attributed to the coloring of the photo as well.

thank you very much.



and congrats robuk it was just a stunning photo, it was hands down yours.
