Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Has your winter come and gone already? It must be a short season. Great post and we can look forward to you brightening our dark, dreary winter days ahead. Good post Lyn.

Lilac time in my favorites folder!!!!......Oh my...the favorite flower of mine..in white no less! The scent is overwhelmingly beautiful Eve :)
White can be a hard color to shoot but you seem to have done it nicely in this image without harshness or glare.
I think the framing works well on this shot since the lilac bush can have 'spaces' of wood branches as demonstrated on the left side of your picture. The filter/framing you used nicely camouflages that.
This is going to look good on my desktop when the snow is blowing here before too long :(
Enjoy your Spring while we suffer through our Winter here.
Many thanks for sharing this with me :=)

Is this a popcorn lilac? lol I can smell then even now as they burst into bloom. The framing and background softness complement these elegant white beauties perfectly.

Framing really works on this Lyn - brings out the 3d quality to the lilacs. I like the way they're hanging like a wreath, there's a real sense of weight and smoothness. Blurring of the background has added, nice work.

Gorgeous, Eve. I, too, can "feel" the scent in your image. A lovely elegant framing job as well.
