Tulips

[Peter McCullough]

Haven't shot any floral images for AGES, my partner bought a bunch of tulips and thought I'd shoot them today using natural daylight etc...

Wow! Springtime! Nice. Feels like spring in Montana today with temp at 50 F and winds at 40 mph.

I like the composition and especially the exposure. The colors are captured very well.

Thanks Ralph, kind words, appreciated.

Pretty cold here in the U.K. just now (central Scotland), around 4/5 degrees this afternoon with it probably dropping lower later near midnight etc, we've just lit the wood-burning-stove in our lounge --- wow beautiful (free) heat.

I selected 'vivid' setting on the Nikon D800 menu for this floral photo.

really beautiful, i like the bright colors. it's spring here today too, upper 50s, high winds and rain with thunderstorms on their way. but it's been consistently 20f and below here for the past week.

Very fresh! Feels like spring has come.

Beautiful Peter - I love the fresh spring feeling and the colours are superb

Spring...? You all have it good. It was Wintery here today. Low 70s, with a cloud or two visible in the distance.

Nice shot this one, Peter. As I suggested in my response to your "Dreamy" post, pictures of flowers don't do much for me,...but this is very appealing.
