This really is such a lovely walk through these tulips! And have I seen that fountain in a ARB photo before? Your local arboretum just seems like a place many would love to visit. I envy you!
Your cloudy skies have given you a good light for these thousands of tulips. I still feel that I would back off of the saturation or the contrast...whichever might bring the individuality of the blooms more into focus.. That may be too much to ask with so many of them.. And your colors are so beautiful and so orderly... I love that of course. So if I am off base... be patient with me. :)
A wonderful entry for this contest! Truly a magnificent garden. Thanks for sharing and best of luck!

Yes indeed, I am sure you have seen that fountain before!
I agree that the saturation should be dropped, unfortunately this was a contest that did not allow edits. I may have to submit another though as the rules call for the flowers to make up at least 50 percent of the image. I am ant 36.75 now. :)
I am going to the ARB today as the flowering crabs should be in full bloom. The ARB has a whole hillside full of them. Usually after a rain and heavy wind, it looks like pink show under the trees from all the fallen petals.
Have a great day Becky.

a very good entry to my contest with all these tulip varieties in the garden;
nice natural colors with sharp focus;
since I indicated that flowers must represent at least 50% of the area, I would suggest to crop the top to avoid to be disqualified by the comittee;

Ooops, thanks for the heads up, I overlooked that part of the contest. I will crop or submit a new image that works.
Thanks!

Super amazing photograph for the flowers contest. I love tulips and have never seen so many in one spot and so many different colors of one, except if I paint it. I love the low angle looking up at the sky and the fountain. So pretty to view this. Good luck in the contest.
