Hearty Congratulation JohnTulip....
for crossing 35,000 points with 469 photos:-)
Its a good milestone.

Ofcourse points has not much meaning here on TL, and they definitely show how much your photos are appreciated.

Johnny, you are a wonderful person and best friend.
A good motivator, and help a lot to other people not just on TL but outside TL too.
I appreciate your wonderful sense of humor.
Thank you for that, and never change it.

A small gift for you for everything you have done and achieved.
Bleeding heart flowers from my garden :-) See so many wonderful hearts here just for YOU :D

Technical talk : Taken outside in RAW. This is what I did to get that black BG.
Use a thick cardboard sheet or mounted canvas 1ft X 1ft size. I stapled the black cloth on that sheet and also glued a little wooden support to it. So now you've a black board with stand which you can use as a BG anywhere for small objects.
I put this behind one branch of plant, adjusted that branch properly so that it is easy for me to take picture. Plant is safe without any damage.
Used Cloudy White Balance and flash, ISO 200.
In PP, yes, I've to do some corrections in BG to make it even look.
Resied for TL.

Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.
Vandana

Hello Vandana

Beautiful visual, Sir John deserves.
Beautiful visual and details of this wonderful flower!
very good photo, beautiful colors and to real good light.
Congratulations!

Sérgio

Vandana, this is very kind of you ..and as a shy man ( yes ..terrible shy) I say THANK four your kind gesture


The last 4 months have been very hectic in private life .. but Treklens .. working with photo's ..to be in touch with the TL friends and all is a nice relaxation,however very time consuming.
(often ask myself where others find the time )

Looking back, first it was I who gave you an 'uplift' whit the photo knowledge I had than..
Peru was your big breaktrough.. than you started that PhotoShop Cours and tought me many good things

Was working with PaintShopPro .. a real good and nice program, but now I do agree with you, PhotoShop goes deeper

Basic thing is.. a person should realy learn to work with Photo Shop.. shoot in RAW.. thats the best way .. (I'm too going on a course PS )

In a few days you also will add Mexico to your TL worldmap.. right ??
Meeting Shhelbee's mom, Linda
Great,, and give Linda a huge Dutch hug from me..

So back to your photo
I like your flowers and framing 110%.. ofcourse:
The Silver Tulip Award

A bug hug from your Dutch friend
