No snow on tulips
but there was some drizzle... This was my first time actually photographing flowers. The slight breeze didnt help much. Lucikly I live just under 30 minutes from the tulips, so hopefully i'll be able to visit again with some nicer weather. Also, what happened? I believe I was the only one there for the sunset tonight.

I love the soft colors and dew, but wish the photo was opened up more (it seems very dark overall) and that it was cropped closer on the right.

I really like the rain drops Rylan, moisture on flowers is always great to me! However, the comp could use some improvement IMO. John mentioned it about how it may have been cropped. Not sure if you shot other compositions of this piece but I would explore different ones if you can. Plus, lighting it up a bit too.

I like the comp but agree this is way too dark... it needs some vibrancy !!

Rylan: Great idea you have here, and your focus looks spot on. But as the others wrote, additional processing is necessary.
