I like the comp, the great color, the excellent detail, and the dof and pof as well.

Beautiful comp, colors, and textures. The dew drops are very nice. They show up much better in the larger version. Very nicely done!

The comp is so nice with the upright flower and it's tilted companion covered in dew. The blast of oof color at the top helps make the image glow.

I like those colors a lot, Craig. So vivid. I might consider toning down the pinks in the background, though; they look a bit too saturated to my eye.
Very nicely done.

Very electric pinks/magentas, Craig

- I like how you managed to get the fine dew so sharp. Larger version shows tons of details.

If it was possible I'd have composed this to include the 2nd Tulip leaning right in full into the frame.

Electric, indeed. It may be slightly over saturated, but I like the look of it.

The petals with their dewdrops are just fantastic, Craig - it's a spectacular display of pinks. I do wonder if there is a shade too much vibrancy to the colour - just a subjective preference really.
