I close my series of Dutch Tulips with this tulip field "in rouge".
This particular tulips is a psychedelic red, which for the naked eye is difficult to focus upon. You really have to see this colour first hand to appreciate how strong this red is.

The province of Zuid Holland, in spring is a "must see" region. Only seeing is believing.

The most visited toutist atraction are the tulips garden of Keukenhof.

In my WS, you can see three different pictures of the same field:

United Colours of Tulips
Travel in Tulips Land
Rows of Tulips

My HDR version. Please let me know what do you think.

Well done Lili.
Beautiful colours and point of view on your fine presentation here.
Best Regards
Janek Kloss

Lovely strong colours and textbook-perfect composition i this shot Liliana.

Apologies - I must be honest, I find the resolution of this is quite low. There is a lack of detail and definition in the tulips, where they all tend to merge together, and some 'ghosting' visible along the trunks of the trees, as if poorly sharpened.

You do fine work but this is not one of your best in my humble opinion.

Sorry - I feel it is important to be honest!

Hi Lili,
wonderful closure to the colours the tulips,I particularly like # 2 in your WS,perhaps its got something to do with what side of the brain one acts on,I like the flow of the rows of colours as though they go on for ever.

Hi Lili,
An image filled of energy! This isn't easy to render these vibrating colors with acuity! This red is almost blinding! Superb contrast with green trees.
Very nicely done! Annie

Hello Liliana,
Stunning rows of red tulips and well contrasted trees behind.
Eye catching work dear friend

Hello Liliana!

I have to agree with Rew here. You have a great eye to compose your shots. This one is no exception.

However I do not know which post processing works you did here . But it seems to me the oversaturation blurred the image, and you tried after to sharpen it.

If you wanted to create a painting effect ,I think perhaps, a blurred house would have enhanced and balance the whole scene.

Keep on shooting and posting ,
Robert

hi Lili

Sorry if I have to be honest too.

A fine catch of the spring mood. I think Holland is very good for this photo shoot because the land is flat and the lines of flower planting is orderly to give you very good perspective view.

From my sceen, it looks like strong saturation and oversharpening effect? But the scenery is very lovely.

tfs, bill

Ciao Liliana


Your post is so beautiful, the planting of tulips
is wonderful, more in fact they have no definition
the flowers, I see the red without much
details of tulips.
The place where you captured is amazing

Intr-adevar trebuie vazut. Sper sa ajung cindva pe acolo. Frumoasa compozitie si excelent contrast. Numai bine. Csabi

Hello Lili,

I would imagine that the scene is breathtaking with so much vivid colour, moving gently in the breeze.
I love your pov and the good, diagonal composition.
However, I fall into the same camp as one or two other members, feeling that the shot maybe oversharpened and perhaps oversaturated.

I hate to be so critical of one whose work I greatly admire. Sorry, my friend!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Liliana,the vividness of the red tulips really comes across.I like your choice of angle with the rows going in a diagonal away from us and taking our eyes to the more restful greens of the trees.
Well presented with a suitable framing.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Lili

A wonderful view for all these red tulips.
Very good for my eyes.
Excellent pov.
I have to be honest : I ♥ ♥ your shot very elegant and well composed.

Have a lovely week end

Hi Lili,
I suppose you camera had no problem in focussing. Indeed, for the eye it is very difficult to focus, and it seems there is no focus at all. But the green leaves in between the flowers ARE in focus. Wow, a very special effect.
The diagonal composition is great as are the colors.

Colorful and so pretty, but I don't know if its my eyes that are acting up but it seems that the field of tulips is somewhat blurred. Even so its a pretty composition.

Hi Liliana
Nice tulips farm!
Good composition but not great details specially in tulips
I prefer the HDR shot because of better saturation of redness, but the trees do not let you to complete your pp wroks on the sky,

Hi Liliana

Wonderful colour of the red tulips, with the diagonal rows adding superb dynamism. Adequate sharpness, & good colour saturation. Have a great Sunday!

Hi Lili,
Wow, this is a spectecular scene of tulip field. The strong colour aof red is very impressve that dominates the most of this image, but the other colours in the background also look great. Fine brightness and postcard-style. TFS!
Best wishes,

Lili, please see my comparison photo of this beautiful landscape of tulips. Red is one of the hardest colors in the spectrum to hold, but with a little photoshop work, (explained in the comparison), I think the color holds up better without bleeding.

dear Liliana,
a vivid view of splendid red and peaceful green trees.
tulips look quite a gorgeous carpet in the palace.
the prince and the princess of tulip spirits are dancing on it, and make breeze that swings the flowers comfortably.
then the red becomes more red by that dance in the air.
thank you,
