Tulips 3

Hi all.

More tulips from our yard. I liked the glowing white tulip in front of the vibrant purple in this case.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Very essential, and with a great contrast of colors. Maybe, I would even crop it square, keeping the lower part...

Gorgeous colour combination, Nathan, and, for me, an excellent abstract composition. I like especially the movement in strength of tone from bottom to top

I like the concept, Nathan, but these are tricky to get the right colors, pof, dof, etc. I remember we both tried a number of these last year. I like your use of the contrasting colors in this one, but the purple seems a might strong. Also, I am bothered by the oof lines running prominently up the center of the image. I prefer this one horizontal with the top 2/3 cropped, and with the purple toned down a bit.

I like the color contrast from dark purple to the lighter colors. Another wonderful tulip abstract, way to go.

Psychodelic! Square crop for me… this is punchy and doesn’t need the top …for a knockout.
