Tulip Pair

I took a crop of a tulip pair from full frame that I envisioned while lining up the shot. I think it might look cool printed and framed in black.

Canon 1D2
Canon EF 100mm f2.8 Macro
1/1000 at f2.8
ISO-100
No polarizer
Cropped, some selective blurring at the top corners to help keep interest to the main subjects.

It's a cool image, Ned, but cropped a bit close to the tulips on both sides to my eye - maybe about 3 or 4 times the edge you've cropped to?

Thanks for the input Tom - I'll do that and add here...

Here is a retry Tom....

Sweet shot Ned! The second one it perfect. The flowers needed that extra room. I agree a black matte would be nice for this.

Very nice, Ned. The thing that makes this for me is the depth created by the layering of stems and the green bud in the bottom half of the image. You have a really good eye for this sort of detail!

Thanks, Tom - now I need to get some Gorge time in. I have quite a few days planned over the next month and a half - I'll have to see if you have any time during that timeframe...

Ned, I'll take the second crop also. Like the glow to the stems also.

Really great crop idea Ned, I'll second the comment on your good eye. I like the dreamy affect.

Thanks John, Curtis and Jerry..

Now that is a cool comp for this set of tulips. Nice thinking on this one Ned!
