Experimentation Time

Due to the lighting conditions when I was able to get out and walk, I used my photography time to experiment with shooting close-up images of wildflowers with an intentional controlled soft focus effect. My technique included super-close focus, extension tubes, and a close-up filter. When the background was not what I wanted, I then went artsy for the blossoms. I definitely need to improve my skills for these types of photos, but I like what I am seeing on some of them. (Hint: Subtle is better for me.)
