Tulip BL

The setting sun provided a strong light on the Mother's Day tulips on my kitchen

table. I could not resist the glow of the strong light and the transparency of the

flower.

Absolutely spectaular!  Like it's emerging from hyper-drive (sorry, a sci-fi fan)...  Mike

Really beautiful work with impressive lighting and colours, Dominick!

Dominick,

  Wow...beautiful image with powerful colors & lighting.  Thanks for sharing. Take care, Patsy

Nice shot. Color is sweet. I love the framing. I'm just curious, did you do anything with shadows to increase detail on the dark aeras? Nice shot.

Kenneth, most of the processing was done in Lightroom 4 where the shadow and black sliders yielded greater detail.  The highlight and white sliders helped as well, in making the image appear as I wanted.  Shooting RAW files, of course.  Thanks for looking.  Aloha.

Whoa, a real "sun flower"! 

A really fine piece of work there Dom.  The colors, comp and dof are just super!  I don't  understand the relatively low ratings, it's "excellent" so a 7 it is.

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

nice work my man.

Thank you my friends, your kind and encouraging words mean a lot to me.

Nice micro shot with the different vision.  Artistic work.  Best Regards,

Amazing colors and clarity.
