Tulip Time 2

Here's another one from Ensley Garden @ Lake Shawnee (Topeka, KS). I shot this with my new Canon 70-200 mm lens. I used it a LOT over the weekend and think I'm going to LOVE this lens. A huge improvement over my old telephoto.

Great range of colors Angela. I think if this were mine I would clone out the partial bloom in the bottom right of the shot, and maybe the orange petal coming in from the middle left.

Nice shot.

I see why, it has a great bokeh. Wonderful colors and I like the shallow dof.

Nice one! Killer light and aside from the crop suggestions that Nathan had, I don't see anything to improve.

A feast of colors for my eyes, Angela. The polarizer filter made a good work with the glossy tulip. I like the photo very much.
Cheers.
