Hi all.
I have a couple of more tulip shots from this year that I want to share for thoughts. These (along with the others that I posted) were shot at the Thanksgiving Point Gardens Tulip Festival. Does the bloom on the far left of this one hurt the shot? I know that there had been a suggestion earlier about a lengthened out shot, and I found this one.
Any and all thougths appreciated.

4 commentsI like the comp, with the focus on the two on the right, and everything on the left looks fine to me, Nathan. I find the bright large spots at the very top right to be ditracting, and I'd either clone them or crop the top to eliminate them. This image is, of course, much like your horiz version of this scene. I went back and forth between them, and I like them equally.
I liked your previous version of this theme, Nathan, ane I like this even better in the portrait format. Very impressionistic feel and lovely pastels.
Nathan - My thoughts mirror what Scott said. Composition looks creative and nice..just those specular highlights hurt the frame somewhat.
Nathan, I'm not bothered by the bloom on the left, nor by the strong background light - in fact, I find that it gives the image a strong sense of "springtime". My only nit would be the half bulb on the right margin. But I have also photographed tulip fields, and I realize that it is never easy to solve this type of problem (short of yanking the flower, which would defeat the purpose of what we are tryig to do.....)
