Tulip Dreamland

Looks just like T. turkestanica except for being pink. Maybe they do come in pink? These from Woodland Park, Seattle.

D700, LB Composer, macro +10/+4 (I think...; +10 for sure), handheld.

Thanks a lot for dropping in. Please do tell me what you think! Thanks.

Hi Catherine, I think your title says it all. This image is very dreamlike. Beautiful colors. I like the comp alot and although I might wonder how one small area a little more in-focus might look/ feel I really do enjoy the dreamy feel this image presents. Well Done!!

Very cool Catherine! I love the colors, the dof, and the lines. Really, really wonderful.

The two flowers with their pink/magenta tones and very nice composition,
The green areas opposite each other,
The gold/yellow areas opposite each other,
And selectively detailed areas in two petals that keeps the viewer's attention.

Catherine, ..... this is a wonderful image!!

Catherine, this is an absolutely beautiful image. Love the soft look it has & the dreamy blurriness.
Personally, am not sure of the composition & might crop quite a bit of green regions at the bottom of the frame - but again, that's just me

Catherine, it's a beautiful dream!! Among so many splendid photos that you have posted and I have seen this is one of my favorite. It's not a matter of LB composer but of photographer's eye and inspiration. Bravissima!
Take care.

I'll have to catch up on this forum. I have no idea what LB is, but you have a pleasant effect here. One suggestion if you print. I would crop a little off the bottom-just above your name. I think it would look great in high gloss or metallic paper

Another gem of an image from your Catherine. D700 - wow! I can imagine how much details this image has. Am sure print looks fantastic. Well executed image and great composition.

Goodness! Thank you everyone! I was pleased with this image, myself, but to have your agreement is very encouraging. The lens does take some mastering, so I am happy to be "coming along" with it.

John W.: Oh, yes! I admit I AM totally a goner on the LB and having such fun.
