Thanks, Igor. That is indeed a great image. I'm not sure exactly how it was made, but while they are growing, daffodils are low to the ground, crowded in among others of their kind, facing inappropriate directions, and spotted by dirt, insects, pollen, moisture and other extraneous materials. I may pick a few this weekend, to get some "cleaner" and more isolated images, but for the purposes of this gallery, I wanted to capture them in situ.
