This entire image has a dreamy softness that is very pleasant. The flower is just sharp enough to retain the delicate details and the colors are lovely.

Well, I think you met your goal - this is lucid dream come true. Very soft and delicate.

You kept enough detail of the blossom to make it standout as the center of attention.

Your post production techniques are well applied. Not to much but just enough to make the point.

A bright point of pink light against a monochromatic green background.

This capture is well lighted, with good placement of the main element.

Challenge yourself - see if you can reproduce this image within the camera. No post processing just camera f stop and focus, who knows might be fun ... B-)) Bob

Nice shot well taken. Good color and focus so that the details are there to view. I like the filter you used on the background and to soften the image. It is very effective. Well seen.

Your tall vertical framing works nicely. A gorgeous pink tulip with good light handling and nice harp focus rendering good details. I love your title "Dreaming of Springtime" and your storytelling with your image. Nice work with your Topaz lens effects and Impressions creating a lovely field of blur and bokeh. This is very nice work and thanks for sharing!

This is a wonderful shot of the pink tulip. A classic case of minimalist art!. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!
