My one annual run on the Skagit Tulips. Had a great sky but not a lot of variety in compositions or colors because the more varied fields were teeming with tourists. 40D, 10mm, f/11 for 4 min, 2 GNDs, a 9-stop ND and Adamus' glow effect.

Beautiful. One of the better tulip comps I've seen. Great sky.

Nicely captured sky and row of tulips leading back. :)

Awesome! Everything is in focus and crisp, and the sky is dramatic. Very nice, Bryan.

Great color, composition and depth. For me, the motion in the clouds doesn't seem to go with the lack of motion in the tulips, if that makes any sense. I guess I like that appearance when there is also a sense of motion on the ground whether it is in water, such as waves/surf, or something else. I also might be inclined to clone out that one tulip that has fallen over into the row about 1/2 way in. Nice stuff.

Wonderful Bryan, I love the color here. Great catch, vivid both above and below. My only nit would be to move or zoom past those first three tulips to where they are more dense, to really fill out the foreground. Nice!

now its 4 seconds, yesterday on flickr you said it was 4 minutes!!!! A 9 stop ND filter would not give a 4 second exposure.....and the clouds do not move like that in 4 seconds so it must be 4 minutes right?......
