Snowdrift

I noticed yesterday on my way to work that I could see some snowdrops peeking over the top of a wall. It didn't make sense to me why they were so high, so I went to investigate this evening. Turns out the earth just banks up against that side of the wall - nothing amazing, but there was a whole lot more snowdrops than I was expecting.

 

I couldn't really do them a huge amount of justice as I couldn't get as close as I would have liked withouth losing the angle. Plus it was a bit shady and overcast!

 

Ah well... you get the snowdrift I hope!

 

(I lost a bit of detail on the petals of the flowers at the front. I think this is because I had to crank the ISO up a wee bit. I've added a photoshop 'poster edge' filter as well to try and bring out the definition a bit, but made that more or less transparent before 'flattening'.)
