Certainly my favorite of this series, Nathan. I like the pof and terrific frame filling color.

This is nice and bright... dof is similar...  but, I gotta say, my fav is the first one.  That one had the right portions of stem to bloom ratio which this doesn't, in my opinion.... and oh, dont't we know how opinions vary.   ..but that is mine.   Nice chance to see a different take on each and how little changes make a big difference.

I have to say this is my favorite so far. I like the bold colors and I like the sense of motion with the increasing and falling of the tulips. The white blobs are the only weak feature I see.

Nathan: I think this may be my favorite. I see what Phil is saying about the bright spots but they really don't bother me. Nice work on this theme. >=))>

I love the colors and the sense of motion from the diagonal position of the tulips, but I don't like those white blobs.  So my favorite of this series is the first one.

Nathan - My favourite in the series too. With the nearest ones completely out of focus really helps put the focus on the sharp ones in the center. If anything the highlights could have been handled better if possible.
