At last I do have some time to post again. Sometimes I have some sparetime to look at the forum and comment some of the posted pictures, but posting one was a long time ago. So here is a new one.

During my stay in Lelystad (NL) I saw a lot of flowerfields (mostly tulips). One of these fields was easy reachable so I could take some pictures. This is the best in the series I think. Tell me what you think about it. The picture was taken just before sun-set

Hope you enjoy it too.

it's a nice image Tom, I also like the patterns formed by the tulips. The highlights are perhaps a little bright.

A very eye-catching and colourful image. I think it would also work if you cropped just above the two flowers at the bottom of the frame.

Very colourful! I like the composition and the pattern of the tulips in the background. It looks a little bit bright on my monitor. A lovely shot!

Colurful image Tom. Perhaps a polariser may have helped here but I am no expert. Certainly different to what the norm is on here.

IMO the 2 main tulips are just to high in the frame, which is mucking up the comp.If they were lower then the eye would carry on looking into the BG.

Great colours tho
