This is Bueatiful Brigitte. The colors are very nice and very soft. I don't know how you got the Bg to reflect the colors in the flower but it is very powerful.

An exceptional image for my tastes Brigitte. Really superb light and color palette. "Beautiful" doesn't do it justice.

Awesome. The light accentuates the colors beautifully and the composition is superb. Masterful handling of the highlights as well.

Gorgeous soft lighting, terrific pastels, perfect DOF. The POV is interesting....when I first saw this I thought it would be better with the tulip facing upward but after looking at it for awhile I think the way you did it here is best....unique. :toast:

Yum! That looks good enough to eat. I like the way the stem is pouring liquid light onto the petals.

Exquisite, Brigitte ! The lovely, soft and semi-abstract nature of this somehow beautifully brings out the qualities of the petals. Wonderful image !

Another spectacular image from you! I love the softness and lightness of this image. I also really like that it is pointing down. Typically, I rotate these so the bloom is facing up, but I enjoy your decision here to leave it down.
I don't think this is necessary to improve the image (this is so excellent as it is), but I may try changing the URC color to match the rest of the BG and see what that does. It may look too monotone, or it may make this strong image even stronger. Very, very well done!
