Tulip Trio

Next in the series of "working" these parrot tulips. This time from the light box diaries. Not sure about the comp. The tulip on the viewers right might be a little too tight. I did some TK Luminosity Painting and might have saved it. What do you think? Does the comp work as posted or what would you suggest? All suggestions/critiques most welcomed and appreciated

Another great picture, Bob. I think the comp is just fine; I tend to like tight compostions. I also like the way the light accents the top flower. Just wondering, could you have extended the stems all the way to the bottom of the lower right corner?

Bob,

The tulip does seem a little tight to me but it's still a very fine image. I'd put it on my wall in a second. Fine control of the light and beautiful color.

Works for me. Wish it were mine. I kinda lean to tight comps myself.

This is outstanding Bob. Perfectly exposed and composed. The rich color is very pleasing, especially against the dark BG.

A real quality image, Bob ! Superb lighting and sharpness and a truly engaging composition which personally I would not change in any way.
