From 2014. Fellows Rivrside Gardens. D600, Sigma 150 f2.8 macro @ f16, 1/100, iso 500. I posted a similar image in 2014 taken at the same time and place, but not this one.

Great to see such bright and cheerful colors in winter, Scott. Love the backlighting and the alternation of transparencies and shadows on the petals. Beautiful work!

Scott, I'm just blown away by your spectacular image!  The tulips seem to glow from within and the vibrant red and yellow colors that carry through to the background add to the intensity of the image.  Very nice!

Wonderful glow, Scott.  The purple area between the blooms tends to draw my eye, I think because of the color difference.

Scott,
Flowers don't always have to be pin sharp. I love the soft ethereal glow from these tulips. A beautiful image as is.

Delightful. The lower heads look as though they have their own little lights  inside !
Not too keen on the green frame but no big deal.
Cheers

Gorgeous! No real nits, but the purple OOF is discomforting.
