Comment from Monica Morrell
Wonderful beautiful tulips! A great contest contender! I have to ask... did you lace the orange and golden tulip among the white and pink field or did it grow there by itself?
Either way a nice image. Nicely framed and focused.

Great photo! Wondering if this one randomly grew there or was placed? Either way, great concept and very well executed! the flow and softness of the tulips is very appealing to look at. The one different tulip adds interest and contrast. Beautiful picture. Good luck in your contest!

thanks so much;
certainly a bulb put in the wrong bucket;

Comment from Trajan
Nice shot. I feel like the flower wants to jump up and sing " I just gotta be me...".
Nice perspective though I think moving slightly to the right and recentering might have had a better impact.
It almost reminds me of a Matisse, butvI am not sure why.
Great image and good luck in the contest.

Comment from Envision
What a good entry for this contest. I like how there is a lone colorful tulip among the crowd of look-a-likes! I see another one in the background. This is a nice find and your framing emphasizes the depth and quantity of the tulips too.

Standing out in a crowd, but its not alone (see one further back.) interesting shot well done. I like the diagonal flow of the image. Good focus and good color. It does tell a story. Well seen.

the other one is much too far to comunicate; lol;

Comment from Linda Wetzel
Now that is the superstar of this flower bed. The other tulips are nice but rather plain. Now this blossom chose to rise above the mundane and let its colors shine. And is that not what we do...fat against the skinny; old against the young; rich against the poor, etc. ?
