Fringed TULIP in my gardens in the Evening

With so many varieties of different beautiful blossoming blooms, how in the world do you keep it all straight? - Just pure genius I guess.

When I opened this post I looked at it and thought to myself "Why a feather duster." Then I saw the center, and all was right with the world again.

The center of this flower is near Macro quality.

The colors are so bright and bold -Ya need a pair of sunglasses.

I am beginning to see the light about shooting at night - pardon the pun.

Putting the emphasis on the center rather than ultra high def of the petals works best for tulips - at least that's what I think.

Overall a really good take on a natural 'feather duster' ... B-)) Bob

    lol...it DOES look like a feather duster Bob. As a matter of fact, JUST like the one Comanche chewed up not that long ago....the little imp! My feather duster was not so colorful however. As for keeping my flowers mentally in order...well, somehow it just happens...lol Always look forward to your thoughts on my posts so thank you for another lovely and well done one here. I do appreciate it OMP.

This tulip definitely deserves center stage. It truly lives up to its name. Wow...have never seen anything like this. Never heard of it before either. What time of the evening do you take shots like this. This one is captivating.

    I wait until it's completely dark Mama M....typically after 9PM this time of the year but it's already getting earlier. By the end of the growing season I can photograph in the dark by 7PM. You're a doll for giving this guy one of your gold stars. Thank you so much....I always appreciate having you check out one of my new pieces.

Wow those bright colors really hit you fast! Nice. Look like the feathers LV showgirls wear LOL. Like how they alternate colors; nice closeup and good focus; good choice on the black background; makes it pop. You did it again! Take care.

    Was it good?? Sarah Bullock??

    Sandra Bullock. There is Miss C. and Miss C 2. Both are great. The second one is better in my opinion. She gets a partner that has somewhat of an attitude but in the end both FBI agents are friends.

What can I say! superb vibrant colours, capturing this tulip variety in its essence, filling the whole frame, which is a successful technique here.

Fabulous color, Deb. Your tight framing really lets those colors pop right out with a wallop of initial impact. Perfect focus on those pistils and stamens standing at attention. Shot at a great angle, great clarity, and great detail. Another winner from the garden.

    lol...a 'wallop' Perfect way to put it Ed. Was a tad concerned when I was photographing this that the colors would be too much w/ the flashlights....took a little doing the other night to keep camera settings so colors wouldn't be out of control. Always look forward to your views so thank you so much for having a look at this guy and giving it a really lovely review. Do appreciate it.
