Comment from Tony B
This is a funny, fun shot, loaded with fun. I always have admired the whimsical common placed in our city, they try to dress up the drab cityscape. This is a fun image to share.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
This photograph was made for this contest. It's a winner.

Great capture of foreground with patterns and lines of stems and happy pops of tulips to pull our eyes into the image.

The humour I just love. I had to look closely and went "huh" - as I was expecting to see a bunch of Japanese sitting in an 'onsen', alas we have a bunch of white people! (oh I'm so funny today, aren't I)

I wonder what Cephus will say about this....he told me blue and yellow were complimentary...I corrected him. (and changed my entry colours).

Nice one supergold, I think you have just stepped into the winner's circle with this one.

many thanks Olga for your lovely comments and high rating; I didn't want to indicate, it represents ridiculous Japanese tourists: Dutch humor
I know in advance that Cephus will find something wrong:
Cephus humor; LOL

This is on the bizarre side, didn't see that coming. Mostly your photos are so traditional but this is quite whimsical. I like it.

welcome back Princess; glad you liked this one

Comment from tinlight
Either it's a light-hearted modern art installation, or those bathers have daubed themselves with clay. I've seen the like at mud baths - daubed people, not sculpture installation, that is. Either way, it's hilarious, particularly in juxtaposition with those lovely tulips.

Comment from Lynnette Smallwood
Strange combination for sure. I thought you composed it that way. An interesting composition but something a little disturbing about it. I guess that makes it a great photograph if it can evoke a strong emotion.

Comment from MinoYasue
I like the tulip part. The color red has a great depth and the color reminds me a velvet and it is well contrasted the semi-transparent feeling of refreshing green.
Good luck for the contest and thank you for sharing.
