I love love this image. It reminds me of a painting. Excellent details. Excellent colors. I love the close up and full frame photo. You have truly made her last days really shine through. It is always such a pleasure to see your amazing photos from your eyes to mine. Really lovely!!

Creative presentation of the tulip and its almost completed cycle of bloom. Only talented artist can capture this so well with great visually pleasing effect of this endless beauty of a tulip.

Pat,
A very beautiful picture of this full blown red wine Tulip two of the petals curving over the pistil & stamens. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.

It is always nice to see alternate approaches. The colour really speaks here even in its last days. Excellent close-up shot of the lily. I like the gentle touch. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Pat, the composition of this image is wonderful! Most people would placed it bang slap in the centre - I love how you've placed it at the bottom of the photo and included a second tulip behind it!
It's beautifully focused with a good dof showing great detail throughout, exposure is perfect and the colours are so lifelike. A very lovely flower photo indeed.
