Nice photo. Colors, exposure, lighting and tone are amazing. I like the beauty of the tulips bed and how the background makes a colorful flag. You can smell the flowers and see its colors.

Very beautiful flowers. I love the richness and diversity of colors in them. They're amazing. This is a very nice picture. I love the way the flowers are so vibrant and colorful that no adjustment is needed.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Pinks, Reds & Yellow Tulips filling the frame. Those fancy stripped Tulips were the subject of many an Old Dutch Masters Still Life Paintings, reproduced on many a Biscuit Tin & Chocolate Box. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Panoramic capture!
Filled up framing.
Bright lighting.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Visually appealing with its layers of colorful blooms.
Thanks for sharing...

Excellent. The panoramic format serves to compliment the wealth of colour, on display. Your knowledge of the history around the tulip is interesting, also. Thanks for sharing.

Tulips, tulips and more tulips. Very interesting history of the tulip. I did not realize that the tulip ins not indigenous to Holland. The classic rows of tulips are always so colorful and a joy to behold. Thanks for the lesson Fred ~ Steve
