Another from the kitchen, I hope this isn't boring you too much.
Same settings as the others, but I let more directional light in.

Great colors and variety in the tulips Robert. I am on the fence as to what I think about the blue glow in the BG.

What an amazing color variation to these tulips. I think it would be interesting to isolate one flower to the blue background for some really popping colors if possible.

Very nice series Robert. Lovely flowers and great color. However, I like Tulips 2 better. I think the blue takes away from the already brilliant color in the flower. Maybe using a color that is in the flower may give it a warmer feel. Just a thought.

The colors are pretty amazing, show what modern breeding programs can do. I do find that nearly electric blue in the upper right too strong. If you do local adjustments, I'd drop the saturation in that area.

Really like the light here, Bob. The blue tones cool the hot colours of the tulips in a very interesting way. Just enough variety in the poses of the flowers to make for a nice composition.

Your flowers remind me of my Painted Bunting.. Can you imagine a shot where it used these for a perch :jump:
The blue color seems to be cooling off the one '2lip' with its light, interesting.
What's its source?
I like this Robert, well done! :toast:
