Hi Monica, nice to see you again !
Very cool image: great light. IMHO that yellow on the RUC is a bit distracting and coul be reduced...
Did you see my BF in the macro gallery?

Monica,

The yellow blurs on the viewer's right distract me a bit and I might clone those out or darken them. Otherwise this beautiful. I particularly like the light and the mood.

Monica, I don't find the yellows very distracting but toning them down might be good too. I like how you handled the light on the whites

Monica, the tulips have elegant poses and attitudes and the background look like painted. But what I like most is the light, the play of shades and lights.

The fantastic light here makes it GREAT Monica, nicely done.
I'd like the mood even better if I was in Switzerland on vacation

Be well

The gentle intensity of the light, the mild shadow across the petals and the increasingly OOF background tulips combine beautifully in this shot, Monica. Even the two little green semicircles on the rhs somehow don't distract. Lovely work.
