My Tulips are starting to bloom. It looks like they're going to have a good year. I hope they don't get crushed by snow again.

I love the varying shades of green with the bud. Nice work.

This bud's for you!

I like the way your bud is tipped. Just add some water droplets and it would give a whole new feel to "This Bud..." Very well captured and presented. Hope your spring has sprung too.

Nice shot Mark. I really like the diagonal comp and your DOF/POF choice.

Sweet pastel colors, and nice choice of dof. Hopefully, the snow is done. i have one lonely tulip in my flower garden getting ready to bloom. I shot the unopened bud yesterday.

Mark: I like the diagonal comp and the selective focus. Hope this is a start to a good series.>=))>
