Nice capture of this tortured beauty! Strong image especially against the clear white BG.

Todd: Most excellent! Goes to show that it doesn't take a perfect specimen to make a compelling image. Really well done.>=))>

Todd:
Long enough for you to make this excellent image. The high key makes the flower pops. Also like the slight translucency of the leaf. :toast:

Todd , I love this stage of the tulips life. I save my tulips until the pedals fall off almost before I shot them so this is a treat to see, wonderful work and beautifully presented !! :toast:

Like this a lot, Todd ! Very dynamic composition, which seems to suggest the agony of the dying flower, as does the high contrast lighting on the petals.
