Tulips 6 (two crops)

Gallery: FloraPosted May 6, 2014205 views8 comments

Hi all.

This is a shot that I made last week. I really liked the lavender/pink tulip amongst all of the yellow ones.

Specific question: Which one do you like more, the cropped version (first one) or the full sized one? Or, do you not like either?

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!

I really like both but the first image works for me just a little better because you do not see the bright reflective circle at bottom right. I might even move the crop down just above the bright circle to show just a bit more of the yellow tulip stem. Wonderful shot, well seen and well done.

I like the re-worked image best Nathan, looks more 'elegant' with the tall frame.
It also serves to set back the subject a bit i.e. fits into the overall comp better..
Like it 'belongs' there

What an elegant, artistic image and softness in texxture. I like the cropped version, because it eliminated the distracting light area in the lower right corner.

Beautiful and capturing image. Very delicate and with a soft atmosphere of pastel colors. I also like better the cropped version, which seems more balanced and less distracting...
