2015 Tulips 6

Hi all.

My last tulip that I am going to post for now.   I liked the shape of this bloom, the splash of red, the slight glow from behind.  Cropped to almost square to remove some unwanted blooms on the left side.

Any and all thoughts apprecaited.

An elegant looking tulip and a very nice, soft bg, Nathan. Well composed for the square crop and very nice overall.

Nathan - Just perfect. Textured background, Light (specially forming that semi-circle at the base of the tulip) and the choice of crop all come together to make a beautiful photo.

Nathan: Terrific finale and perhaps my favorite of the bunch. I like how you have challenged me to look carefully with all of these right side comps. Marvelous subject isolation and the perfect BG IMO. Most excellent.>=))>

Nathan I too love this splend image. The shape and color of the tulip are so beautiful that for me deserve to be more enhanced by a darker color in the upper part of the BG. If this is true only for my eyes, forget it.
