Good morning TL-ers! :)
I bring you today the road to the Tulip Festival, in Holland, Michigan, USA, and I will begin my journey on the Tulip street! :)))
Here, everything is about tulips at this time of year, and the locals, proudly share their "treasure" with the tourists, that "pack" the place, willing to take as many shots as possible, with the beautiful flowers.
Once I got there I was expecting to see endless fields of tulips, vividly colored, and I was a bit dissapointed, in all honesty, with the flower display, but I guess for that I'll have to visit Holland itself :)
Anyway, I enjoyed all that I could see and the good weather, chased my son 80% of the time, and had to follow him wherever he'd want to go, and in between took some shots...
Vandana, hope you'll have better luck!

Image processing: some color enhancement and clone-stamping to remove a car and annoying shaddows.

In choosing this type of frame I merely followed Green Baron's style... Thank you Hans for the inspiration! :)

Last but not least...I haven't managed yet to reply to all the comments I recived yesterday, but rest assured that I will, even if it will take a little longer than expected...I have a lot of catching up to do on that regard.
Wish you all a great start of the week!

color y bella realización y pov,
saludos

Hi Diana
Very beautiful shot, a lovely composition and strong colours really make this one stand out
Take Care
Cheers Pez

Nice compo, Diana! Gorgeous floral foreground, pretty blossoming trees behind. Good choice of portrait layout to complement the orientation of the subject. Vibrant colors and sharp as a razor. Looking forward to more.

Deabia o asteptam,

Hmmmm,frumoasa,imi place inramarea f mult.
Eu as mai fi taiat din partea dreapta putin...imi cam fuge privirea spre strada/drum.
Poate n-ai avut posibilitatea sa faci fotografia din alt pov.
Oricum culorile sunt minunate.

Sabina

great colours POV and comp

Hi Diana

Beautiful composition and POV.
Tulips are not yet out in my garden, but that's just Scotland for you.

Regards Derek

Diana, asteptam poze de la festival! Foarte frumoase culori si excelenta lumina si claritate are fotografia ta. De semene POV-ul si inramarea sunt foarte interesante.
Da, neaparat trebuie sa vezi si sa fotografiezi campurile de flori olandeze.

O seara faina,
Sorina

Hello Diana,
Great simphony of colours, amazing detail and an excelent compo. The usual good work you share with us. Give a tulip to you (and a candy to your son...he, he, he).
Best regards, jmb

Hello Diana. Beautiful Holland in The USA. Stunning sharpness of the colorful tulips and the blossoming trees. Nice tall frame and well composed shot. Regards. Jusni
