[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another store-bought tulip. The set-up is fairly simple. The flower in a vase was set up against the window sill. Natural lighting, no flash, and no cropping.

Tulip flowers have four parts: sepals, petals, stamens and pistils. The stamens and pistils are most prominent here in this diagonal tulip flower. The black anthers and cream-colored filaments make up the stamen. The pistil is white, columnar, and has a three-lobed stigma. (Oh dear, I hope I remember my high school biology class correctly.)

Hi Danilo,

Excellent shot, very detailed.
Brilliant effort, well done.
All the best.

The composition is very strong as the stem leads my eyes to the flower. The detail is sharp but a slightly larger depth of view would get more of the flower into sharp focus. For me the best part of this photo is how the background color really shows off the subject and works so well with it. Great shot!

Hello Danilo,
An attractive composition with this strong eye-catching diagonal!
The image is full of hope, giving promises for spring soon to come...
Sharp fine details and great clarity in colours!

Your reminder that I have some of these wonderful tulips in my yard and that they will start to show in a month or so, was very pleasant , Danilo. I love the two tone , star tulips and I have never seen them presented so perfectly. The light is stunning and the detail and DOF awesome. Splendid work.

Hello Danilo,

The composition of this beautiful tulip is what makes it so eye-catching, my friend!

It reminds me of the needlework on late Tudor fabrics!
