YHBB's with bokeh

[MN Shutterbug]

I had photographed these earlier in the spring and just posted them on another forum a couple weeks ago. I had one comment about not being crazy about their environment and so I asked if I should retake them, now that some of the reeds have greened up, vs. the tan reeds in the earlier shots. Another person thought I should. I'm glad I went back. I have to agree, a little green in the bg is an improvement.

Nice work X. They look nice against that BG.

I agree, Mike. Very nice images!

Thanks, guys. However, I think with brighter conditions, I'd have been able to close down to f8 and got them a little sharper. This was the same gloomy skies I shot the buck in, just not under trees.

I like them XT,

I really like the first one! Both well done.

Someone suggested this. I've never tried stitching before, so this as a new experience. It certainly helped that they were both shot at near the same exposure and similar backgrounds.
