Torched Tulip

I got my daughter to shine a torch into the tulip to light it up

like a lantern. Shot at 300mm on macro at f8 to blur out hte grass

behind. Comments welcome....especially if given a poor rating, only

way to learn!!

I like it but the green background seems too flat to me, esp. given the brightness of the green.

I appreciate your time and comment. The picture is straight from the camera and jsut adjusted the levels,I may try brightening the background but my concern is it will compete with the tulip?? I'll give it a try though for sure!! Cheers.

I might have choosen a different crop, like having the flower more in diagonal towards the upper left corner. But it is just an idea...

i think it i a good crop. It makes it less realitic and i like it. Very nice colours, lighting and contrast
