Description
OMG! Thank you so so much for the DD!
--------
I wish it were spring
cunningly blowing on the fallen sparks, odds and ends of the old, scattered fire,
and kindling shapely little conflagrations
curious long-legged foals, and wide-eared calves, and naked sparrow-bubs.
I wish that spring
would start the thundering traffic of feet
new feet on the earth, beating with impatience.
I wish it were spring, thundering
delicate, tender spring.
I wish these brittle, frost-lovely flowers of passionate, mysterious corruption
were not yet to come still more from the still-flickering discontent.
Oh, in the spring, the bluebell bows him down for very exuberance,
exulting with secret warm excess,
bowed down with his inner magnificence!
('Craving for Spring' - D. H. Lawrence)

Everyone has commented how lovely and soft the lighting and colours are. Would you like to reveal what your lighting setup was, and what camera filters and post-processing were used? I'm sure this would benefit the DA community a lot more than just having a nice photo to favorite

The light is natural light in my garden in a cloudy day with a bit of sun ^^ In the post processing I just added a very soft pink filter and a very soft golden one as well ^^

This is just...so pretty, so wonderful.
Would it be alright if I tried to recreate this out clay? I wouldn't do it justice, but I think all of the different elements would be good practice for me (and adding the picture to my favorites is simply NOT ENOUGH).

Sure, dear ^^ If you could give some credit if you upload it or something would be very nice, but you don't have to if you don't want

Well, I'm certainly going to link back to the picture so people can compare the original with how I did. Of course!
Thank you very much!
