A reasonable looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that pretty bloom. Exposure is fine but the image is not sharp enough. Nice try and good luck!

The colors and pattern of these tulips quite unusual. Unfortunately, there is a lack of crisp focus around the edges of the petals and the stamens .Good luck though.

This is a beautiful visual present to hear of this amazing flower. I have never seen anything like this. Composition colors, tones, and presentation is extremely well done. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Brian, what a beautiful tulip, I've not seen one like this before.
Lovely waterdops on it too. It is a tiny bit soft though, perhaps a bit more dof needed, F5.6 is a bit tricky with flowers, I always try for something more like F22 but you might need a tripod!
Very good luck in the contest.
Charlotte
