Default Frozen

A frosty morning - I stepped out and got close to the frost on the buds. Not sure why I couldn't capture a very sharp image - maybe my DoF was too narrow? Maybe I should have manually focused on them. Anyway, have a look

I do so love the first one! Composition, bokeh, and beautiful colors. Very nice set.

Default Thank you all!

Thanks, all, for the kind words! I went and reshot those little frozen rose buds about an hour after I posted them this morning. I'm cheating here a little, but I was much happier with my second shoot - I tightened up the aperature a bit, and manually focused. Got much better results

Great shots. I have a bit of trouble sometimes too with focus . Darn technology LOL. Love your shots. I can just feel and hear the frost crunching under my feet. TFS.
