Tulip 59

What an elegant portrait Lesa...I like the colors and delicate choice of DoF...

Thanks Laurent. I thought the simplicity and the contours of the flower would make an interesting image. I don't know if I should crop off a bit from the top, in order to tighten the shot up a bit. If you have a suggestion...give it to me!! Thanks again....LJ

Sometimes simplicity is beauty. I like the simple colours & graceful composition. Yes, I think a slight crop at the top will make it better.

I like it the way it is...maybe a slight crop at the top but not a lot in my opinion...personaly I like that there is space to breath (a matter of taste)...Laurent.

Thanks.

very elegant composition, strong and beautiful contrast of colors!

my compliments

Very good I like this a lot. Good Job. William

I like it the way it is. Croping would make it too tight.

Thanks to Cherlyn, Laurent, Gloria, William, and Dejan for all your comments and input. I am still a bit torn about cropping it, so for the time being I will leave it as is. Thanks so much again to each of you....LJ

I like it this way, I also like the fact that the leaf is slightly out of focus.

Thanks Dave! I am always glad to hear from you....regards...LJ

very nicely done Lesa :-) great diagonal composition with the bulb just emerging. well lit. simple and lovely. good job. regards, J.K.

Great composition/colors :)

Nicely composed Lesa. Did you use a black backdrop to achieve the background? Some water droplets might have added to the freshness of the new bud maybe? Warm regards, Carole

Thanks to JK, Kazimiera, and Carole for the input and compliments. Yes Carole I used a black backdrop, actually it is about $5 worth of black material I picked up at Wal-Mart. Who says a "studio" has to be expensive and elaborate? Thanks again....LJ

Very nice! I like it very much!

The angle works very well. Very gracelful
