Snowdrops in drizzle. There must have been a tiny drop of rain on the lens to produce the ball of light here, I think. I was kneeling on the ground on a small foam mat and my elbows using the 6D's optical viewfinder - much easier with a more modern rotating screen! The breeze also meant I had to keep the shutter higher and up the ISO.

 

Snowdrops are such a delightful sign of spring, but tricky to photograph with a shallow depth of field, as they have such a deep shape when close up. This is my favourite of the 30 or so shots I tried. I framed the flowers against a darker background to help them stand out. Thanks for looking!
