Hi dear TrekNaturers,

A real spring image from me now, which I photographed today in the city, a few hundred meters from our apartment, just near a bank office (see workshop). I was heavily surprised, because this flower, Tussilago farfara is very common in our mountains, but I never ever saw it in the downtown. A year ago I already uploaded a photo of this well-known herbal plant, but it was captured in the Bükk National Park, not in the city.

I thought this nice surprise deserves more than a simple image. I like partial desaturation (where only the background's black and white, the main theme's in full color) very much, but this kind of post-procession is forbidden here on TrekNature. So, in order to reach (at least partially) something like this I used flash when capturing (although the weather was cloudy, but the natural lights weren't poor), and "auto levels" in Photoshop - because it often results some false colors if the pic was taken with flash. I hope I'm able to show what I wanted: a photo with big color contrast without heavy post-procession. Maybe some of You say I intentionally damaged the colors of the photo, but probably some others will like it. Thanks for Your opinions, either good or bad, in advance.

Hello Laszlo!

Great news that spring finally arrived to your place. We will wait probably week or two for this season. I like intense yellow colour - colour of Sun and bright days. Interesting formation of these flowers - they're look almost like group of fungi :-)

Hello Laszlo,
a beatiful picture and interesting documentation of Tussilago farfara, i have taken some photographs of this flower, but never so many in a small tuft, very good sharpness and beautiful natural colours in a pleasant composition
TFS
Best regards
Have a good Sunday

Hi László,

Beautiful yellow flowers so sharp and fine details. The bunch is brilliant against the monochromatic background. Excellent work and happy shooting when the spring begins.

TFS and best regards,
Jusni

Hello Laszlo !
Ah, spring is coming at last ! It's always such a great moment, when you see the first flowers of the year - they came in France, too, a week ago. I really like your picture, you managed to make the flowers stand out even without heavy PP work, just as you wanted. The effect is very nice. I also like the happy and cheerful mood of this picture, mkes me think of sun and warm days. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Laszlo,
this is a beautiful and attractive cluster of this unique yellow flowers.
Beautifully composed in its surrounding, and I wonder also how it turned up when you seen them in the mountains.

Regards,
Foozi
