Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
The radiating graceful lines accentuate aesthetically without overpowering the subject.
Dichromatic presentation.
Subtle illumination.
Diffused focusing.
Sharp on some petal tips & foliage.
Impressive entry.
Potential voters choice...
Thanks for sharing...

I really like this photo with the red on red. I know nothing about photography, but you've managed to create a very three dimensional abstract feeling here with your manipulation This is very intersting and beautiful. Love it.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Beautiful presentation, red is always a challenge and what you created in this background is very appealing creating a nice flow and interesting shapes around the blooms - the way the blooms are coming out of the deepness is awesome , I love the way you placed them in a growing position, very harmonious and well balanced composition - well framed, excellent in contrast and light influx, a nice contest entry all the best of luck

An eye catching presentation with superb reds that show up well against this dark background. The colors are great and the cropping is artful. Best of luck in the contest.

An interesting red photograph. Edit works well especially the highlighted part. It builds dimension and makes red color more enjoyable. From the highlighted part eyes would journey toward details of the tulips.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Little Red Riding Hood Tulips: Is just beautiful your red are so vivid and this background is so fantasy looking. This picture look like it was done by a computer image. This is a work of art, great job.
