Hi Barbara and Welcome back! Tulips are such a favorite of mine and these orange ones are so beautiful and well captured!
I love the way the orange blooms and their stems are stepping forward from the green background , very nice work to focus on stems and leaves as well as the blooms.
Well focused, this image is clear and your exposure is perfect. Colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!
This was a pleasure to view!

A beautiful composition Barbara.

First are the camera settings and they are top of the chart sharp and well-focused. The detail of the petals is very strong, for I can easily make out the petal crenulations.

The color palette is narrow essentially bi-colored. With this narrow of color variation it becomes easy to lose the long green stems in the background - that is not the case here. You have a subtle color shift that makes the long stems stand out from the background - well done

The portrait presentation brings the whole thing together very sweetly.

This take is excellent... Bob

This is so lovely, Barb. This made me think of early Spring. The orange tulip blossoms made a nice contrast with the green grasses. The portrait orientation accomodated its long stem and fits well here. Colors appears natural and is a delight to view. Well captured.
