[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was on a trip to the Netherlands at the end of March/beginning of April, to visit some family.

They took us to the world renowned Keukenhof(also known as The Garden of Europe) on the outskirts of the town of Lisse. The flower garden was the idea in 1949 of the then-mayor of Lisse. The idea was to have a flower exhibit where growers from all over the Netherlands and Europe could show off their hybrids. Keukenhof has been the world's largest flower garden for over fifty years.

There are so many things to photograph in the massive gardens that is almost impossible to choose, but I quite liked this sea of pink flowers, especially if you realise that its two different species of flowers with almost exactly the same shade and intensity of pink.

Hope you like it! Let me know what you think!

Bella imagen con un gran colorido y formas.
Bien por el punto de vista (POV) y la posición de la fuente de luz.
Felicitaciones Niel.
Saludos.

Hello Niel
I live at the corner at the "keukehof" and the gardens are full flowers. This is a good shot from two of them. Very nice.

gr hetty

hi neil, i love these type of vertical shots, you have captured this well, great repetitive pattern and colors, really nice composition, i agree with you there is so much to photograph in some gardens were does one start! really pretty shot, thanks scott

Hi Niel!
I won't miss this season next time. I missed it last year but I'l come back to see the blooming of tulips in Holland, by hook or by crook! :)
This is stunning, Niel! The progression of pink colours to a dense patch is so appealing. I like the colors.
TFS,
Freddie :)

Hi Neil,
The beauty of this image is in the subtle and almost unoticeable change from tulips to hyacinths. From the thumbnail you can't discern the change...distance is hinted by the graduating thickness of tulip heads. The colours are immaculate.
Best wishes,
Celina

Stunning flower photo, Niel! The colours are simply spectacular. Good detail and nicely framed - you get the impression that the flowers go on forever. Very nice!

Very nice composition with beautiful pink tulips, Niel !
I like the perspective and contrast between the pink and green
Best Regards
Aires
