Calla Lilies

Fresh Calla Lillies herald the arrival of spring along the west coast, near Carmel California. Lens is the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. 2 exposure manual blend. At the moment the sun dropped beside the bluff, I stopped down to f/13 to coax a sunstar from the lens, and it performed on cue. I also had to clone out a few people downrange.

An interesting choice for a landscape and very pretty. It is uniquely different and should draw interest. Well done.

An exceptionally fine image, in my estimation.
And that whole canyon is filled with these flowers?
Angky.

thanks! in the month of March(rain permitting), the valley blooms with Callas. It used to be a well kept secret, but now throngs of visitors trample thru for a selfie, damaging many of the flowers.

Love the soft colors, and the starburst is a nice touch.

Wonderfully crafted image mikeSF...1/10th sec exposure...was it a tripod/mirror lockup capture - as the lillies look so sharp.
