I like the warm light and this cluster of tulips is a wonderful display. Im wondering though if darkening the BG so that it's more of a pure black would make it even better.

A feast of beautiful colors, Bob. The light of the dawn is a present from God to all the photographers.
My wife and I envy your garden.
Take care.

Beautiful light Bob and I love the colors. I might be inclined to darken the light spots in the bg on the viewer's left. Very nice image.
