Tulipa sylvestris

Spring is really rushing in here in Holland. It is only still a bit cold for the time of year. The flowers don't seem to care and it is a feast to walk in the parks. This Tulip was catching the last sun of the day.

Nice job capturing the warm feeling of spring with the glowing yellow tulip against a subtle background.

I like the light and separation of subject to background Ellen. Well captured and displayed.

The warm light and interplay of light and shadow on the tulip are beautiful to behold. Nice shot!

The large image looks better then the smaller image. I like the color contrast between the yellow flower and green background. Very nice image.

Nice angle to show the center of the Tulip and some nice spot lighting there, Ellen :cool: . I try not to put OOF elements in the start of the frame but here fortunately it works for me.
