This is an interesting take of a tulip on its way out, so to speak. A very artistic view showing an interesting shape, and 'flow'. The colors are beautifully shown. Good luck in the contest.

A good flower photo doesn't mean it has to be the same old bloom. This one shows the reason. It is fantastic. Like the little insides so cool.

This is beautiful in its vivid colors of oranges, reds, yellows and raindrops. The outside greens are lovely. The inside less vivid is not as pretty, but in all it is a fine up close. Best wishes.

Hi Soulfeeder, I love the curls and twists of you flower. When you add the rain or dew drops it makes this flower even lovelier! The image is breathtaking with wonderful lighting and clarity. One's eyes can't help but be drawn to it! Love the dark background behind it, it really shows off the flower! Wish I had six stars to bless this with! Good Luck in the close-up contest! :o) Helvi

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a good view of that old bloom, fading away. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

A very beautiful Picture of this Golden Yellow tulip with red veins on it's remaining petals encrusted with Liquid Diamonds sparkling in the daylight It's pollen laden stamens & pistl in the centre of the Tulip. Beautiful composition, framing && lighting taken with superb camera technique & sharp focus.

Very striking photograph of the close up tulip bloom as they approach the end of their blooming season.
Great colors, details and beautiful presentation with the black background. It shows the flower so well. Thank you for sharing.

That's an interesting Floral Picture,Soulfeeder!
It makes me think of slightly disturbing but also bizarrely erotic animated 'botanical' sequence that was featured in the 'cult classic' movie 'Pink Floyd,The Wall' that debuted in the early 1980s!
VERY Cool!

I think this is a lovely close up of a tulip Soulfeeder, and it is also different because it is showing all the inner part of the tulips. The all dark background is perfect for the tulip to stand out in an excellent, and all the shiny droplets add so much beauty.

The petals are in sharp focus, but all the pistil and the stamens could have been sharper. The exposure is however spot on.

I also like the way you have cropped the photo, and the placement of the tulip within the frame. All together this is a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.
