Litchfield Daffodils 7-7-2013

Sitting directly down in the damp grass at Laurel Ridge lets you focus on individual flower petals instead of just the sweeping hillside vista. Looking closely across the sea of blooms, isolating the bright yellow cups and pale white petals created an interesting visual punch against the surrounding field foliage.

This selective color composition keeps the vibrant golden centers and delicate white petals intact while converting the green stems and distant background into soft monochrome tones. The shallow depth of field isolates the sharp foreground flowers, letting the rest of the field drift smoothly into layered, creamy bokeh circles behind them.
