So clear and fresh looking photo. Great title. The close crop really works here and the leaves have interest as well.

I've been to Holland and all the rain makes the beauty there. This is great close up work. I love the textures and colors naturally. Just the right amount of drops!

A fresh look with a springtime feel. Very good close up, focus and frame for a Holland scene. Reminds me of my visit to Amsterdam many moons ago.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of these colourful Scarlet & Gold Diamond encrusted Tulip buds beautifully framed by their blue green blade shaped foliage I feel I should be able to put out my hand and touche their soft velvety petals. Artistic composition, beautiful natural lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
Susan
