I am no longer interested in photographs of flowers. But you made a brilliant shot. Against a black background, tulips are subtly and precisely positioned. Wonderful light. You have given me an unexpected joy, thank you.

the light and the gracefulness of the petals combine well - very nice!

Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of making photographs is knowing that your work can bring joy to others. Thank you so much for your kind words. - Andrew

Andrew, I have two favorite tulip shots: "Melancholic Tulip" by Andre Kertesz and a frame by Irving Penn (#9 here https://photocentra.ru/blog/4674). Your frame will be the third.
