Very beautiful abstract, Bill! I love the comp. I can see why these are your favorite tulips, the colors are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing more in this series.

Fine capture of the lines, shapes and colors, Bill. I especially like the intersecting lines creating the sharp red triangle. I could see cropping the top 20% to put more emphasis in this area.

Luscious colors and strong lines make this one a winner in my book. Wonderful abstract

Fantastic colors and composition, absolutely no nits for me. Looks like this would be a nice print!

I like Scott's idea of a top crop. Here's a 4:5 version.

Beautifully done, Bill ! The touches of mauve/pink and the textures coming through work nicely with the reds and yellows. Can't decide easily between the original and the crop - the original maybe just suggests a tulip shape that bit better.

No nits from me, Bill. That 200 is still doing wonders for you! :toast:

Nice lines and textures Bill. The repost does work better, I think.
