Albert, I think that the darl background really brings out the beautyf of this tulip. The composition and color are also very beautiful, in my view. devil

Albert - The best yet laugh --> I like how the pollen pods are trying to grab some attention from the confusion of petals at the center. Nice photo.

I like the folds of the petals, Albert. The angle of the comp works well. To me, the light seems to be just a bit flat.

A wonderful capture of this lovely flower, Albert ! Sharp stamens and petal colour perfectly rendered with the textures of the petals so nicely in evidence. I also wonder whether a vertical would have been possible but this is great as is devil

Hey Albert,
Wonderful perspective on this Tulip. The BG makes it POP, the detail and colors are outstanding but the best aspect of this image IMO is the superb lighting that you managed.

Well done . . . devil
