Comment from Sam S
This is a pretty red color of the tulips. Unfortunately they are out of focus. Interesting use of light. Nicely composed. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks Sam. I purposely used a soft focus to go with the romantic color, and that worked for some people but not for everyone. Thanks for your honest review.

Very nice tight shot of the tulips. The reds are so bright and vivid. Tulips have such great lines and shape. The dark background really sets off the red. Well done.

Thank you janvan, red and blue is a great combination, you don't think too dark?

reply by janvan723 on 18-Apr-2012

No definitely not too dark. It really helps the flowers pop.

80? That's not spring that's summer where we live! Like your composition, the exposure is good but the focus is a little soft. Otherwise a nice photo, well done!

Thank you. I did soften it. I was going for an sultry kind of effect but didn't explain myself well as I was rushing.

Comment from marieann green

Thanks marieann, I was going for sultry, like a 40's diva, but didn't have time to develop idea. Maybe try again.

Comment from schwennjr
This is a great composition. I like the colors and the lighting. The angles of the flowers in the frame is nice. Thanks for sharing.
