Tulips

Very original way of seeing tulips. Love it.

thanks for viewing...!

refreshing take on common subject... well done

lovely tones.

Thanks to all who have commented! I take no credit for the toning on this photo...and frankly, I can't recall how I came up with this particular color. I wouldn't mind duplicating it sometime...but tried once and failed miserably. oh well!

 

warm regards, john

Brooding and a touch sultry. A smokey bar, late night jazz singer, sort of tulip. There is a nice flow to the lines. I like the transition from light to darkness. This image is a pleasant change of pace from the standard perky , knock your eyes out with saturation , tulip pics which I see every spring.

Gordon said it so well. The interesting and creative color tones are out of character for what we typically think of when we think of tulips. Very imaginative! Well done! Regards~~~~~~~~~~~Linda

Gordon and Linda...I appreciate your thoughtful comments. I'm in your camp when it comes to the standard take of tulip...flowers in general, although I have to admit I've taken my share of them. This is one of those photoshop experiments that I honestly couldn't reproduce if I had a gun to my head! thanks again! John

Flippin' beautiful and certainly original. The lack of sharp focus only adds to the idea, which rarely happens.

thanks John! a bit of gentle breeze that wouldn't go away accounts for the lack of focus...and on this rare occassion..came in handy! john
