Orange Rapture

Nikon D300, Sigma 150. F/10, 1/40, ISO 200.

I hope you don't mind orange again, it seems that most of my tulips were orange this year. Comments appreciated.

Sweet capture, Albert. I love the orange against the green, and the texture in the petals. :cool: Nice work!

Albert: Beautiful complementary colors and wonderful texture on the petals. Great DOF/BG also. With the flower leaning this direction I might have placed it on the left side of the frame which is more conventional but perhaps more cliched as well. I do like it flipped with the flower still looking out of the frame but on the left side. >=))>

Very nice colour. I like the contrast -tulip to BG-. Well done Albert.

Striking color, Albert - we too had plenty of this variety this year - my photo of the petal edge came from this variety (see the red on the petal edge). Background with subtle details is also pretty cool :cool:

Beautifully captured and presented Albert. Love the color and your subject/ground separation couldn't be better IMO. A very fine image for my tastes.
