The title says it all here, Bill! What a sweet image this is. I love the color scheme.

Beautiful soft light, Bill. I'm drawn to the color gradation in this particular image of the Tulip.

Out of curiosity, what time of day did you shoot this?

Cheers,

Carol

Carol: Mid-afternoon in my bathroom "studio". Our master bath has a southeast facing high window and a very high ceiling. I often set up my indoor shooting there because I can control the light with the shades even if the sun is shining and I get nice reflected light off the white ceiling. A towel rack works as a backdrop holder. No jokes about me doing some of my best work in the WC

Catching up on comments so I'm viewing all three. Think my favorite is the crescents and orbs, although each has its merit and different feel. Heck, I'd love to have any of these in my portfolio.

Beautiful image Bill I like the selective focus.

Wow, this is wonderful, Bill! The colors are spot on and I like your choice on focus. My most minor nit would be to crop a little from the top since there is a slight band of orange up there that doesn't bring anything to the image.
My bathroom is an excellent "studio" also!

Sweet, Bill!

Something about this is reminding me of a sweet taste. I see that getting deep in touches on different emotions. Funny how that works, and it works well here.

I love the lines and the colors Bill. Great shot with nice DOF. Interesting to see you going shallow on us...
