Certainly in the home hemisphere of DPNow Spring is in the air and this super study of a crocus bloom seems very appropriate. Taken by wizuk using a Canon EOS-5D Mark II, he has masterfully captured the golden illumination of the sun on the yellow petals of the crocus while maintaining a jet black background. f/32 was used to preserve depth of field, something that is not always easy to do with a full frame camera like the 5D.
