Daffodils April

Daffodils felt more of a challenge. They aren't these big classical blooms like peonies and rose or even the magnolias. Nor are they delicate fairy like flowers, they are the humble Daffodil.

These were the miniature kind and the sun was making them extra gold in the light. What I saw with my eye, the luminescence of the petals didn't translate.
I edited them in lightroom bringing the black and shadows down to set the completely against a black background instead of the grass.

I'm happy with the dark greens, the grain and the tone of the yellow. They look more like they are lit by the light of the moon instead of the afternoon sun.
