A beautiful picture of a soft mauve perfect Tulip the sunshine hi lighting the white edges of it's petals & helping it to stand out in three dimensions from the soft blurred foliage in the background. Artistic composition beautiful lighting superb camera techniques with razor sharp focus.
Happy New year.

Beautiful, simple pic. Like just the one purple flower and the green leaves. The lighting is perfect. Detail and clarity is very good.

Comment from JIRINA
Very unusual capture of a rose. Colour is striking, especially showing the different shades of pink. Nice background colours and sharp leaves.

Comment from FBI GUY
Beautiful shot of this beautiful bloom. Unless this a species of rose I am not acquainted with, it looks like a tulip to me. The lighting is great and the colors are gorgeous. The background foliage give this a great DOF which pushes the bloom forward in the foreground ready for me to pick.

Thanks so much for your positive comments - you have me thinking now I was 90% sure it was a rose remember stepping round the bush to get a better angle apologies if I got it wrong.

It could be a variety I am not familiar with. Botton line, it is beautiful. Happy New Year.
