2015 Tulips1

Gallery: FloraPosted April 23, 20151,621 views5 comments

Hi all. Well, my tulip season feels a bit short this year. Due to a VERY warm spring, out tulips popped early. A good deal of them popped while we were on a spring break trip. Then, we had a brutal wind storm and snow storm that hammered most of them at my house. We DO have Thanksgiving Point gardens that are close, so I have been able to do some shooting there.

This is one of the first ones that I have been able to process. Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Nathan: Really good POF/DOF choice and overall comp. I like the colors in the subject and the BG is the perfect complement. If this were mine I would be sorely tempted to clone/paint some color into the bright area up top but this works very well as is. Many kudos. devil >=))>

Very effective combination of sharp and soft, Nathan - the ever receding reds and yellows are a delight. My personal taste would be for a slightly less bluish green but that's just me ! Lovely image !

Great start to the tulip season, Nathan. Well composed for the subject and bg. You could crop a pinch off the top to reduce the brightness of that area.
