Well actually greetings from Chengdu! But a typical Dutch flower that is pretty popular in Chengdu. I took this picture of the tulips after I bought them on the street for 2 euro. He asked double so I hope I got a bargain ;)
Being at home I took out one flashbox and started composing. This is one of the pictures that looked better. PP I only changed the levels slightly and added a frame. Hope this brings some color to the grey winter days.
Cheers
David

This is a very attractive macro, where the delicate flower is skillfully depicted!
The amazing patterns are well reproduced, so are the colours...
DoF spot on with sharp details in the petals!

Hi David,

It is a classic subject, but you treated it beautifully. Thight composition put a lot of amphasis on the main subject, but most of the quality is in the studio work manipulating the lighting to achive an artistic result. Great work and TFS.

What a beautiful, cheerfull picture David. Such wonderful colors and lighting!!!! this absolutely makes my day!
Today here has been dull and grey, so this comes as a wonderful "refreshement".
Lovely!

Cheers,
Anneke

P.s.: did you know that tulips originally are from Turkey???
In the middle ages the Dutch took a load of bulbs home and started to grow them... and now all over the world people think tulips are Dutch... while in fact they are only a little Dutch.

Hi David,
A fine macro capture of these beautiful Tulips with nice black BG and wonderful composition.
TFS and have an ice new Week MF!
Cheers,

Bayram

Beautiful colour and light in this shot David. Crisp details on the tulips' petals. Good background and well managed DOF.

hello David

For a while I thought there was a change of plan and you brought the gf to Holland for CNY :).

In any case, very nice color and a nice macro shot. What kind of flashbox used?

tfs, bill

Salam David

Also pretty good dark background, Bravo.

hello David,

i like how you arrange the tulips here.. beautiful light and some dark part.. excellent work.. i like the composition very much.. tfs..

regards, terry

Wel, deze vind ik qua compositie nu eens origine(e)l(er)
Je volgende bloem gaat meer de klassieke stijl op.
Dit leunt meer aan bij het " karakter " van een tulp.
De combinatie van deze kleuren is altijd een winner.
( terug je T-shirtje gebruikt ? ... hihi )
