The color purple

These are in a narrow planter in the center of town, which is great as long as you aren't trying to take a picture. I used a light colored building across the street, and fought with wind and traffic.

All suggestions appreciated.

Pretty well done, Bob, in what were obviously difficult circumstances. Love the slightly sombre purple on the greyish ground; it's maybe a touch soft, but that is understandable.

Hi Bob

Love tulips, they are so photogenic flowers. The purple here is nice. The image may be a little underexposed and a tad soft.

Bob: Glad you survived the traffic. For me this is a little dark, especially the BG. I think it would be helped by more contrast. >=))>

I like the way you positioned the bloom in the frame...slightly tilted to the side. The building actually made for a very classy BG!
It is a little soft though...almost seems like the stem is more in focus than the flower. Sounds like you were working under very tough circumstances!
