Excellent blend of colors, Scott. Love the classic "Wine Glass" take on the Tulip.

Rick, the BG was other tulips (the lower right BG was a red tulip; the lower left BG was from green foliage). I moved the camera slightly and got different BG colors, but chose this one to post because I liked how the colors got divided by the stem, giving the image sort of a caddy corner or four quarters look.

This is dream-like, Scott. Well done. I really like out of focus artistic renditions
such as this. I have no suggestions for changes or ways to improve.

Difficult to say whit tulip is the best. But this is one of the winners. I like the sigle flower placement through the frame. Nicely done Lanz.

Terrific capture and lovely blend of colors. Bet the tulips but be just amazing in your favourite garden at this time of the year.

Hi scott

Perfectly composed and crafted. The receding softness on the tulip works beautifully. The colors present a sublime combination

Luv the colors and soft abstract look, a very attractive image!

Fantastic abstract, Scott! Colors are graphic, but the softness you created makes them blend in a very appealing way. Very nicely done.

Such a pretty soft abstract of the tulip, very delicate and great colors, especially the way the stem splits the background colors so nicely.
