Nectarine...

Latest addition to my potted tulips. Glad when I'm done, I can plant the bulbs. I like the interesting colors. Reminds me of the skin on a nectarine.

very nice colours, maybe remove the lttle one underneath as it distracts for the main subject IMHO. Background compliments well with the flower.

Kathy: Aptly titled indeed. I go back and forth on the inclusion of the bloom in the LLC but overall I like it. Well seen. >=))>

Another wonderful portrait Kathy. Like Bill, I am at a toss up over the bloom in the lower left.....I think it supports the main subject. Well seen, taken and displayed.

Kathy, Nice portrait of the Yellow-Red Tulip :smile: . I am not completely sold on the inclusion of the bloom in the LLC but I guess it adds some dimension to the photo.

I don't mind the bloom on the left at all . . . gives the image a bit of a balance, it seems to me. Great colors. You could have a lot of fun with an abstract close-up of those petals as well.
