This Tulip is fascinating. Her burgundy color is just beautiful. Your close up is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I enjoy the sharpness of detail and texture and the realism, of color and light. The Tulip is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

A very good looking image posted here! Your fine and full composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your lovely tulip bloom. Like the colours and tones. The petal detail is good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

a great close up Pat of this beautiful deep red tulip; what I mostly like is te wonderful details of the petal's texture and the capture of the red without smearing;

Great presentation of this red tulip with great shadows that shows the first bloom at its best. Supper details and so creatively presented with black and hint of green background.

The deep red colour of this tulip is stunning Pat. How fascinating that you grow them in a water bowl. The sunlight on the petals highlighting the detailed texture is so lovely. This crisp clear image works well as a macro. Well captured Pat!
