:))) How beautiful Michele... The pink is so *hot* surrounded by the green... It is truly amazing what flowers pop up on roadside verges, even in the middle of bushland...:)))
Excellent composition, light and colour dear friend...:)))
Hugs...:)

Wild tulips in Oregon?? The Dutch Northwest?? Wow . . . learn something new (or different) every day. Lovely find Michele.
I have looked into the cropped tulip issue which seems to be the major topic here . . . and I have developed my own opinion too. My first reaction was an immediate "What the . . . ?" thought because usually that's just not a good idea. Of course, you have sold me on your version here. I slight pivot and reshoot to put the whole thing inside the frame would eliminate some of the left side green and open area . . . and cause a fakish, balanced feel (IMO). As it is, there is a cetain ambivalent tension in the shot which is quite good. I remember my shot entitled "Alondra" had several ducks literally cut in half. Sometimes . . . it's needed . . . your grouping here seems to reflect the randomness from the reality and the branch is an awesome accent to connect them all together. I would have chosen a much smaller aperture to blur the BG more, but that's personal preference. These colors work very well together too! This is nice work!
Regards, Doyle I <~~~~~

Thank YOU Joe-- I didn't have a problem with the partial tulip but some people do apparently-- I was soooo happy You didn't :))
Thank You for the great support and comments my friend... 'Greys Anatomy' is on now so I have to pull myself away from the pc.... I want to comment on your images first thing in the morning - I took a quick peek to see that you do have a few I have missed.
All the Best, Michele~

Beautiful shot, very well captured Michele. Great colours, very sharp focus with excellent detail. The composition is very good, I like the branch coming in from the top, sort of ties it all together and I have no problem with the partial tulip on the right. Very good work. All the best, Joe

Michele, I like this crop, you still have the off balance, the only other thing would be if the total flower was in the original image to the right, which ever.

Hi Cleveland, haven't heard from you in a loong time-- Nice to hear from you and I appreciate your comment very much.... I thought about what you said - and I cropped the partial flower as it was - I feel it un-balenced altho it was a partial flower- which is also un-balenced... anyway-- see what you think now -Okie doke?
Best wishes, Michele~

Michele, nice image, good color, focus and the composition would have better IMHO if the tulip on the right side had not been cropped out slightly. Just my opinions, you are the artist.
