Now that is close... ^_^ Are you sure it's a crocus? Looks more like some kind of pasque-flower.

BTW, great placement of the subject and the DOF is used just right.

I am certain that this is a pasque flower !!! Too hairy for a crocus LOL
Whatever it is - this is perfectly photographed and presented, dear friend.

Yah, me thinx its a Pasque flower as well..guess you our outnumbered Milo!! I cant imagine a camera getting such an outstanding close up...its just gorgeous...Verena

sorry guys, this is definitely a crocus, there are hundreds of them that pop up in the ravine, its probably hairy because it is the "wild" variety, unless a 'pasque' flower looks exactly like a crocus, in which case it could be one

Dazzling Milo! I love how some areas are sharp and some are soft. Very well done and high marks!

thanks for the comments guys. i agree with carl. They are what i have always called a crocus. I looked up a pasque flower and it looks very similar, but i have always been told those are wild crocus' and no one has ever argued it. I dunno.

good macro, i like how some places are out of focus. nice job =)

Stunning

amazing
