Oh yes, another tulip image but an abstract this time. I fused the tulip image with a slow shutter iPhone image then played with the blend modes in PS

I'm using the same lens this week, the 75mm on a M43 camera, so the equivalent length of 150mm on a full frame.
It's sort of ideal for trying to get something reasonably close and then something out of focus in the distance, and I'm in danger of just looking for and only snapping this kind of shot ... I must try something different tomorrow :)
This is one of my new dahlias, Cafe au lait. The ladybird was a very obliging photobomber
Lensbaby Velvet 85
Shallow depth of field image of vibrant Dahlia flowers growing in a park in Copenhagen, Denmark. Taken with a Canon 5D4 and a 50mm lens at f/4.0.
As luck would have it we had a rare hard frost for a couple of glorious hours earlier this week, so I was able to get out in the garden and find this tiny flower for this week's Looking Close... on Friday! group theme, Winter Flora. The poor little thing had only recently emerged. What a welcome to the world!
P.S. I apologise if you find yourself inexplicably singing Let It Go as a result of my title. :))
Developed using Darktable 3.6.0. A soft texture overlay was also added in Photoshop. Photographed at Jester Park near Granger, Iowa.

I've struggled to get the whole of this dahlia in the frame but today I tried it with my new Lensbaby sweet 22 along with macro filters and it worked a treat.

They seem to be in bud for so long and then once they decide to open there is no stopping them. They are the most beautiful flower...who doesn't love a peony? I do find them quite difficult to photograph though. I tied these stems together loosely so that they were bunched together. A couple of textures added.
Apologies to those of you who had already commented/faved but I had another play and blended it with a multiple exposure of the peonies and preferred the textures and tones.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 14th of May is "small part sharp" which requires that the 'focused part' of the image is quite small; most of the picture should be almost entirely blurred.
I had chosen an image of a tree branch covered in lichen with a selective focus used creating a shallow depth of field. Then, as I was on a walk through suburban Melbourne on a sunny afternoon to capture the autumnal colours, I spotted some colourful mauve seaside daisies low to the ground in a suburban garden. As I crouched low to the ground to photograph them, I noticed a tiny veined seed pod of some kind, wedged tightly into a crack in an old wooden railway sleeper used as a garden edging. The seed pod drew my attention because of its wonderful, almost Art Nouveau patterning. I decided I would try and create selective focus on the seed by creating a shallow depth of field, and this is the image I came up with.
I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
A smile to beguile - the charming face of a common snapping turtle. And what an appropriate common name as these large, freshwater turtles are well known for their defensive disposition, their long, extendable necks and fiercely fast, strong bite.
She may look friendly, but one must always exercise caution around these creatures.
Seen in south-west Pennsylvania.
I estimate a carapace length of 35 to 40 cm.

This red admiral was on high alert today, chasing away all invaders to his territory in our garden.
After each energetic aerial battle he'd return to his perch high above the ground (twine surrounding our chicken area) to wait for the next interloper. Thrilling stuff!
52 Weeks of 2023 - Week 9 Rim Lighting
Just the railings around a park.
I failed :( and this was the closest thing to something rim lit I managed to snap in week 9.
The point is 'fasteners' for Macro Mondays. Sometimes the simplest of objects can be both useful and beautiful...that's the best kind of design, isn't it?
This drawing pin (or thumb tack if you're from that large country north of the Mexican border!!) is for...

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.

I always feel weird when I have to name a flower. I do not distinguish many of them to start with, and then, I never border to learn their names in English or French.
I think that softness , a hint of halo and sharp-edged bokeh balls of MOG Trioplan 100mm wide open, work quite well in this image.

Miniatur Cliff at the beach nearby Kijkduin / The Netherlands. At this spot sand coming from the sea bottom was put on the beach to broaden it in order to protect the coast and the city behind it. It is called zandmotor. Experimented with a shallow depth of field and different PoVs to recreate the surreal feeling I had at this spot.
