Snowdrop

Galanthus nivalis is widely grown in gardens, particularly in northern Europe, and is widely naturalised in woodlands in the regions where it is grown. It is, however, native to a large area of Europe, from Spain in the west, eastwards to the Ukraine. It is found in Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Moldova, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the former Yugoslavia.
Although often thought of as a British native wild flower, or to have been brought to the British Isles by the Romans, it is now thought that it was probably introduced much later, perhaps around the early sixteenth century

Hello Ferran,
very well captured, excellent POV. The details are nice and sharp with great colors. Colors and exposure are very good. A lovely composition.
Best regards Siggi

Merhaba Ferran,çok şık bir abajur gibi görünüyor.Tertemiz bir artalan ile çok güzel bir çiçek fotoğrafı,ellerine sağlık :)

Hi Ferran,
A perfect shot of this Snowdrop.
If I had posted this it would have been a cultivated plant, but you are lucky enough to be able to call it a native.
I can imagine these in forested glades,perhaps with Bluebells & Wild Strawberry.
Very nice shot.
TFS & Cheers
Steve

Hallo Ferran
A beautiful straightforward yet beautiful flower presentation. A delightful view with fine details to appreciate. This colours is eye-catching. Just looking at this image brightens ones day. This is a great shot. I really like the simple composition with only a few specs of other colours in between. A lovely close-up which I enjoyed looking at. Thanks for sharing and have a most enjoyable day.

Hello Ferran,
The Snowdrop is not native to Sweden but is found as a garden escapebut we have to wait until the middle of March to see it in flower.
You have taken a fine simple portrait of a flower from a great POV and with excellent sharpness against a contrasting natural BG.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Salut Ferran,

L'arrière plan flou est très beau et contraste bien avec les couleurs de la fleur.
Mise au point et profondeur de champs excellentes.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiés

Hello Ferran,

This is a delightful shot of the snowdrop ... ususally one of the first signs of spring.
The details of the lantern-like petals are well portrayed and I love the composition with the stem emerging from the b/l/h corner and following a near diagonal.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonsoir Ferran,
Très belle image de la Perce-neige. Le blanc de la clochette est parfaitement rendu, ce qui n'est pas évident. Grande subtilité de couleur de l'arrière-plan et composition simple et fine pour l'ensemble.
Bien vu, bien fait

Hello Ferran !
Ah,n this is such a beauty ! First sign of spring, bringing hope for better times each year, and they are soooo beautiful ! They look frail and fragile, yet they are a tough flower, able to grow under snow. This picture is just awesome. I love everything - sharpness, details, colors, blurred BG... The composition is perfect, with the flower making a nice diagonal, and standing out so nicely against the darker BG. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Ferran,

superbs balanced white and light.
Pleasantly presented in a lively composition.

Hola Ferran,
Galanthus nivalis - pretty, simple, and clear. Its petals modestly pure and bright in a most pleasant dim light - just in the way that I like. Interesting brief notes. In and around Vienna, G nivalis started to show their heads, too. But now they are covered by thick layers of wet snow, but hopefully will show again in a few days.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Molta delicadesa en la captura d'aquesta curiosa flor que crec que encara no he vist al natural. Ben composada y equilibri dintre d'un format complicat. Gran nitidesa del conjunt i blancs controlats, cosa que jo no sé fer.
Enhorabona Ferran: Josep Ignasi

Bonjour Ferran,
Composition minimaliste mais efficace pour cette très belle macro dans laquelle le sujet est bien valorisé, sous une lumière bien maitrisée, par la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Hello Ferran,
