After reading your comments on my last post I thought I'd try again tonight with a different comp and lighting situation. As always I appreciate you taking a look and leaving a comment! Thanks!
I like this one much more. The backlight gives the tulip a nice "glow". Wonderful detail. I really prefer the isolation in this capture. The graceful little fold leading down to where the petals separate shows your great attention to detail. Well done!
Much better Wayne! I can only repeat what Dominic has already pointed out. The blending of the red and yellow imparts a natural glow, and the backlit petal really makes it sing. This is really beautiful!
Thanks for posting!

Wayne - having looked at both tulips, I do like the backlit version better if the only thing in each picture was the red tulip. The quality of the colors in this version is much nicer. I do miss the background of the other picture, though - I think that splash of color helped.
