GALANTHUS NIVALIS
Common Snowdrop, Schneeglöckchen, Perce-neige
Family: Amaryllidaceae
All species of Galanthus have bulbs and a bell-shaped flower. They grow 15cm tall and are flowering in January and Frebruary. The flower has six petals. (Wikipedia)
I took this picture last year in February.

Sorry to have been absent some time. My PC broke down and my hard disc was dammaged. I lost a lot of my pictures and fortunately some friend of mine could recover about 40% of them.
I would like to thank all TN members who sent me encouraging messages and especially my Swiss friends Dieter Meyer (meyerd)and Markus Peissard (Heaven)for their helpful attitude. I would like to dedicate this picture to both of them

Anne, welcome back (thought I too have been erratic in my appeareances here because of work!)
A great pity your machine broke down. Take heart and start afresh :-).
What a tender looking flower you captured last spring and have shared with us today. I love these blooms that come out of moist earth in early spring in cold regions.
Did you use lasso and blur system to remove BG noise? If you did, then there are tell-tale residues of it around the subject.
TFS and regards.

Hi Anne

I am sorry to hear about your problems - it must have been dreadful! I don't know what I would do in a similar situation.

Lovely close-up with great colours heralding the arrival of spring.

James :)

Hi Anne,
Beautiful Common Snowdrop. Nice color and well seen against dark and soft background. Lovely pov and composition. Sorry to hear about your mishap. I always write my pictures on to CD or DVD as back up. It is difficult to tell when a hard dish will crash. TFS this fine image.

Hi Anne,
How nice to see you back.
This is life Anne. We fall, and stand up again. I am sure, you will build up your library again with much better shots. Wishing you all the very best. Start keeping a backup copy of your work on a removable disk.
This is a beautiful macro shot. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Anna,
i am glad to hear you back online again, although it is very sad to hear you have lost some priceless photographs.
Still, this is a lovely shot, the lighting and POV are great.

Hi Anne.
Few days a go I photograph similar flowers. I like your shot a lot. Especially I like excellent exposure of the white petals and reproduction of various charming features of the flower and amazing blue strip on BG. May be vertical orientation of the image would be a bit better but this is not a point. You have reflected the first sigh od spring with refined taste. My compliments and best regards.
Alexei.

Hi Anne,
Nice to see you back but 'am shocked to learn about your misfortune. You must be feeling terrible but I am sure you will build up an even more beautiful gallery in course of time. Maybe you should be more careful this time as everyone of us should be.
Wonderful close-up shot with exquisite colours and sharpness. You have managed the harsh lighting well and I like your chosen POV to portray it. The BG looks so special. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Liebe Anne,

also Du bist wieder zum TN- Leben erwacht und bringst den Frühlingsgruss mit. Dass Du Markus und mir das Bild widmest, ehrt und bewegt mich, danke sehr! Also doch viel Schaden. Machs gut mit Deinem neuen PC !

Herzlich grüsst Dich
Dieter

It is really sad to hear that you lost your pictures Dear Anne! I thought you were on a journey or something like that.

Anyway, it's very good to see you back with a beautiful, sharp and balanced shot with an amazing background.

Welcome back.

Hi Anne!

What a shame, I discover this dedication only right now. I would like to tell you that it honours me and that it's a pleasure to help you. You're always welcome!

Thank you also for this nice and delicate "spring-posting". The pure white of the flower contrasting with the blue spots of the sky are joyful and introduce spring. I like this symbolic message very much!

Très à toi...

Markus

Liebe Anne,
freue mich sehr über Deine lichte Botschaft nach Wochen Deiner Abwesenheit. Schneeglöckchen, elegant, heiter und klar. So viele von ihnen gab es diesen Spätwinter auch bei uns. Schön zu erfahren, dass die kostbaren Daten Deines Rechners doch zu einem guten Teil gerettet werden konnten.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Bonjour Anne
Merci pour cette belle prise de vue, et ce spécimen si net, car le blanc en photo, c'est vraiment difficile
à Bientôt

Bonjour Anne,
C'est un plaisir de te retrouver ici. La perte de tes clichés est très regrettable, c'est surement beaucoup de moments et de situations dont tu ne pourras plus témoigner. Tu pourras les remplacer par les très belles images à venir.
Merci pour ce perce neige. Malgré ma grande attirance pour ces groupes de fleurs (Leucojum, Acis...), je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de l'admirer. L'image est pure et très belle.
Amicalement
Hervé

Hola Anne.
Excelentes detalles y buenos tonos.
Agradable presentación y estupendo encuadre.
Saludos, JL.
