Good colors, a strong, narrow POF with good detail throughout it, A simple background with good variation enough to be pleasing. A solid shot from a bird guy! :biggrin: :toast:

Well captured backlit tulip (a favorite subject of mine), Keith. Very eye-catching.

The lighting works really well here, Keith, with the internal shadows adding interest along the way. Striking colour and a neatly graded bg including the oof flower in the distance. Nice shot !

Interesting bloom and interesting photo Ken. The strong light seems to work just fine here. Very nice.

Excellent colors Keith. The light on the flower and the shadows make for a great subject and background. Well seen and captured!
