Simply Tulips 2012-04-22 Just a shot of some of the last tulips - the season started early here. These were in a park in Vienna's 18th district. Have a beautiful Sunday.
Take 2: Bamboo Love 2012-04-19 I did what I mentioned in my previous post - I went back to the Botanical Gardens with my tripod and made a sharper picture. The light was different as well (brighter), and I notice that I was closer than in the original picture. Still, in my humble opinion, this shot is better than the previous one for the 'shades of green' competition. [and by the way, both shots have been rotated to horizontal, the original is vertical.] Many thanks for your comments and thoughts.
Bamboo Love 2012-04-17 As seen at the Vienna University Botanical Gardens. The local photo club has a theme of 'shades of green' for its monthly contest. When I spotted this collection of bamboo, and then noted the inscription, I thought it might work. I don't think it is sharp enough for submission, though (hand-held, high ISO, low DOF). I'll have to go back with a tripod.
