Fresh tulip

This tulip was the freshest flower in a bouquet and I decided to photograph both this and the most developed flower (in my photo 'Translucent'). Your comments are very welcome.

A delicate, exceptionally beautiful rendering of this flower, Vincent. The minute, very sharp detail displays the patterns of the bloom and the leaves distinguish this image from other, mundane, flower photos. - - - My best always, michael

Just beautiful and serene Vincent. Well done. BR Patrick

Hi Michael,

 

thank you for your friendly and detailed comments! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Patrick,

 

thanks for your friendly comment and appreciation! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent, this is striking in its elegance and it subtle blend of color. Such a simple form but a picture that would grace any wall on which it was hung. DOF is crucial here and you nailed it.

Hi Jack,

 

thank you for your appreciative comments! I have always liked this image myself, but had discussions with other photographers about DoF and the leaf that is out of focus, so I'm glad you like it. Kind regards, Vincent

Is a symbol of the new life that begin in this springtime,simplicity in a photo can be so good and this is seen here.

Hi Radu,

Thanks for your friendly comment! It was the freshness that struck me about this flower. Kind regards, Vincent

Gorgeous colors, light and presentation, Vincent. Excellent background that brings out the best in the flower. The composition is very appealing. A beautiful and vibrant image. Best regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,

 

thank you very much for yet another amicable comment! This is really a 'studio' shot (I don't actually have a studio), so I could control the conditions; I took my time to shoot this photo. Kind regards, Vincent

Very laconic and precisely performed image. Eye pleasing look.

Hi Evgeny,

 

thank you for your friendly comments and appreciation! I'm pleased with the words 'precisely performed image', as they describe the effort that went into shooting this photo well for me. I could control the lighting and focus precisely and I took my time; and as you know (better than most of us). that's a luxury you don't experience often outdoors. Kind regards, Vincent
