Tulip Pair
A bit of a radical crop here - about 5-10% off the top of a vertical frame and 40-50% off the bottom. The out of focus background was dappled with a lot of light, and created a lot of competing lines. I tried to minimize as much as possible while keeping the focus on these two lovely blooms. With the lighting I did not change much from Lightroom defaults. I left the contrast as is for this look which I like very much. Thanks for taking a look!
