I'm finally working my way through pictures taken over the last six months, and I got back to my spring tulip farm shots. I was there mid-day, so lighting is not optimal, but I worked with. Here is my favorite:
24mm, ISO 100, f/16, 1/90s

Nicely done Marylynne, I like the way the eyes are carried from the main blooms forward to the graduated lines of color to the back.

Hmmm, I like the comp of red tulips but not too sure about the yellow strip of flowers at the top. To me, it's a bit distracting. You did quite well with the light.

Thanks, Craig and Cathy. Most of the shots I took played with the graduated lines of color. I have some diagonals, some with people in the distance. I wish I had more of the yellow strip (same width as the purple or something), but I didn't capture enough in the field to play with that. I took another than deemphasized fg flowers and got trees, sky into the mix:
