This tulip in its ragged dress reminds me of the fairy tale of Cinderella. Cinderella could not go to the ball (dance) as she had nothing to wear. I dedicate this to Els (TL member Hendrika)as I feel she is like Cinders today. The special occasion is her birthday but she cannot enjoy it as her soon to be son-in-law is in hospital.(see forum)
Unfortunately I cannot be the fairy Godmother and wave my magic wand to brighten up Els'day. But those marvellous doctors at the hospital have their own kind of special magic wands to make things okay.
Happy Birthday Els

Hello Bev,
Very pretty flowers for Els.. Wonderful notes as well... I do love the soft bg.. really makes your flowers stand out

Hello Bev, good lighting for this study of tulips.The composition suggests a bouquet being given, which is most appropriate on this occasion.
I like the sharp focus on the fg flower.
I am sure the thought will be appreciated.
Tfs, regards Jean.

...and the doctors did, with modern techniques they sure did a good job I can tell you (by the way - all 4 docters we saw in hospital were female!)
But I got to be the fairy Godmother and was able to make everything right for everyone - so that is a lovely feeling as well.
Now I am a bit tired but I love every moment here on TL - like I go the chance to do my birthday again today, but then on TL.
This probably is your kitchen wall (?) as a perfect BG. Yes those edges on the tulips I love indeed very much and the BG is just perfect to show of that beauty in the best possible way.

Did I give you a hug? - no? - then you now got one from me,

Els

Ciao Bev, splendid composition with wonderful flower, elegant presentation, great sharpness and fine details, very well done, ciao Silvio
