Dreamy Pinks

Gallery: FloraPosted May 7, 201146 views5 comments

Loved the soft "dreamy" pink, red and yellows of these tullips. The main bloom is so thin that you can almost make out the skeletal "backbone" and upper extremities under the petals.

This is another pm "golden hour" shot from last week when I used the big howitzer lens.

Larger version available, Thanks for stopping!

Very nice. I like your choice of dof, and the sharpness of the foreground flower. No nits.

Sweet Light Craig. I'd love to get a goldfinch in this but barring that these tulips will do. Excellent subject separation, fine comp and a very pleasing color palette. Very fine image for my tastes.

Craig: Nice light and a fine DOF/POF choice. I might crop or darken the bright BG element in the URC. Well seen and captured.>=))>
