Tulips in a Vase

A still life of the first parrot tulips to arrive at our florist.
Following Bill's suggestion this will be the first of a series of "working" the subject matter.

WOW! This is just gorgeous! Great contrast of colors and perfect DOF. The tulips have an artistic flair with the way they are arranged with the droopy one on the right and the fallen petal. Just a stunning picture, Bob.

Bob: Major :eek: -meter spike for me on this one. Spectacular color and like the others have stated the fallen petal is icing on a very fine cake. 2+ thumbs up! >=))>

Really well done Bob. I particularly like the leaf on the table and it's reflection. Nothing in this I don't like. Superb image for my tastes.

The colors are real eye catchers and yes the fallen petal adds a lot.

I really like the bold, contrasting blue and orange colors set off against the black BG. Very striking. And I like the fallen petal. Great job putting this together.

Superb, Bob! Wonderful color and lighting. The colors in the vase
work so well with the orange/yellow Tulips. Of course, having a
fallen petal that reflects is a wonderful embellishment.
