Im sure one of the clever dicks on this site will come up with something.

Nice colours and DOF willy, but the vertical 'blotch' to the right of the stamen is kind of distracting. I do like the isolation you've achieved though, what lens and aperture did you use for it?

I very rarely say this, but...sometimes you can get
too close! I think this shot is too close. Perhaps you love the technical challange? But I think the tulip is such a beautiful bloom I want to see it all!

Thanks Matt
I guess this one was a bit of a technical challenge - especially working at narrow DOF, manual focus, hand held with a breeze
, but I also have plenty of full tulip blooms.
This one is probably my pick from the day

I like both of these for very different reason. It's a shame I didn't get to hook up with you while I was down in Canberra at the weekend, but it looks like you had fun at Floriade anyway. I hope there'll be more of these shots to come

I like them both, the first would look great printed huge on canvas and the pink one.. I just like whateve size there is just something simple that works.
Both are great

Both shots are great and I also like both for different reasons.

You can check em out if you feel the urge ?

I like the first but see it more as abstract art than pure photographic image. Second one is classically pretty - very nice capture.
Really nice work Willy.
