Pink Impression Portrait

Gallery: FloraPosted May 5, 201286 views17 comments

One of my personal favorites for Tulips is the Pink Impression, seen here with a bg of daffodils and other tulips.

D700, 105VR macro + 12mm ET, cpl, handheld. f6.3, 1/125, ISO 320. The image is cropped for comp, as I was in a rather contorted position to achieve the shot and got things quite crooked... Also did some blending in the bg.

Appreciate to know what you think of the result. Thanks.

The NPN version of "Tulip Fest" here on the Flora Forum has been great! There's more in the PNWNP regional forum, too. You're invited!

Catherine - Some very pretty Tulip shots in your PNWNP regional forum. Thanks for letting us know, else I'd have missed seeing them.

This sure is one of my favourite colors also - I call it Peachy Pink. What I like most here is the big "V" framing the small "V".

Catherine:
Lots of tulips in flora as well lately. All very pretty. I like what you have done to the bg. Excellent blend and processing.
