Squared up

Here is another from the tulip outing that I worked with. It was really off-balance, so I cropped it as thus. More than likely it still is, but I liked the look of the flowers. Thanks for taking a look!

Like this one very much. Goode separation between the in-focus and oof flowers. Ooo-la-la, that lovely peachy orange!

Thanks, Catherine.. appreciate the crititque. By the way, if you see this I was at the display garden I told you about and it will be about 2 weeks until prime..

This really hits the sweet spot for focus Ned (and that color's not bad either ). Normally I don't like a small amount of foreground out of focus, but I think the slight amount here on those diagonal petals actually really works great to set up the sharpness behind.

My little tiny nit is I would have liked to see a smallish bit more of the flower to the upper right. But really, these are lovely pastels!

Thanks John and Phil. I definitely could crop it with more at the top. There is a lot of frame to work with..

This is really excellent Ned, the colors are exceptional and I like the squarish format. Well balanced!
