Hi Vandana,
How I like this beautiful photo. The colors are really well rendered. The silky red petals lightly blurred emphasize the white of the one so sharp in foreground. Great depth and composition. In fact, I prefer this one for the depth. Congratulations! Annie

Another great capture. Great note as well, we should all be proud of our own identity. This picture has excellent detail and color. Your P.O.V. is very good. Very well done.

Hi Vandana,

Good morning Vandana,

Here in the fields there always is the odd one out - a lovely sight and your capture is perfect.
Those edges are really photogenic aren't they.
This composition works more balanced somehow then the one you are sharing in the WS; there my eye is forced to follow the row of 3 reds and then I end up in the back of the picture. Here I see in a glance a well balanced equally blurred field of red ones, and they allow me to stay with the odd one out.

Good morning Vandana.
Beautiful tulip picture.! Very well captured.
No need to come to Holland, I see.!
However, our 'Keukenhof' was gorgeous a 2 weeks ago, with real summer weather. Have you been there ?

Hmmm, I DO like the one you posted best, I like the subject on the right, and this may sound silly, but we read left to right, so if the subject is LEFT.... why go any further? I like being lead across a photo! This works perfectly!
Superb quality Vandana! (ps, I got to talk to your Johnnie on the phone yesterday!)

Hi Vandana

Effective tight framing on the red tulips, with superb use of a shallow dof to make the red & white hydrid in the fg stand out. Tfs!

I prefer the ws version, Vandana... what disturbs me in the composition shown in the main post is the one flower that is higher than the others, and that has been cut by the top border. A pity, IMO. The "black swan" of the family sure is a nice flower, and both pics present it very sharp, and in very nicely saturated colours.

hi Vandana

The multiple flowers show up in full red as a group here, while the leader has a white appearance to differentiate from the rest, to make it a pleasant view. Sharp focus on this leader and making the rest of players DOF blur. A good way to highlight.

Hello Vandana,
Beautifully captured tulips. The odd one stands out gracefully. Brilliant colors and the details are just fantastic. A very good composition, and I prefer this one than the workshop.
Lovely note that compliments the picture. And I agree that we can still be part of a new culture and feel proud of our own identity. Thanks for sharing this.

Best regards,

Hello Vandana
I like people having uncommon personalities; its a pleasure for me to try politely to pierce the mystery of thier thoughts!
And I presume you expressed the same passion through this lovely photograph of an albino tulip!
Spectacular selective focus!

Hi Vandana,
interesting concept and well captured.
The contrast (with the one standing out white against the others) is very appealing too.

Well done.

Beautiful blooms, Vandana! Love the lone variegated tulip that's in focus. It makes me wanna visit my landscape work I did for one of the best theme parks here in the Philippines and take photos. This is inspirational. The low POV makes this more interesting and effective. Lovely composition here.
TFS,
Freddie :)
