Subdued Plants, Subdued Colors, Subdued Focus

As the end of the blooming season arrives for snow trilliums, I thought it might be worthwhile to photograph the fading flowers in overcast light using a less than perfectly sharp filter. The results were interesting images documenting the end of blossoming for one of the first wildflowers to bloom each year. I am not sure how much I like the effects of a lower quality filter.

Near the snow trilliums were bloodroots - another wildflower that will be done blooming very soon. Even under drab lighting, the bloodroots seemed more vibrant than the snow trilliums.
