i shot this tulip in the front yard of a local church - composed this shot

directly looking down on the tulip to show the patterns.. comments

welcome..

Chandra, would have to say this would be among some of the nicer tulip images so far this year. really nice lighting, shadows in petals makes great contrast. really nice definition. if you go any further with this image would suggest you tidy up blemishes on bottom petal. nice work.

Almost perfect.

Chandra, very good image with great details, light and color. Excellent work. Regards, Vishwanath

Chandra... Beautiful shot... Mike

A classic, one of the most beautiful Tulip image I have seen and best of all colrs, perspective make this a unique image.

Great!

Roger,  thank you for the comments - I agree with you that tiding up some of the blemishes in the bottom petal was a good idea.  I used clone stamp to gently brush-off those blemishes.  Have loaded the new version.  thanks for the useful input.
