Wow, I really, really like this... It's well composed, the colours don't look over the top, the background is nicely blurred, and the droplets are great

Ok great shot.

Very crisp.

Love the droplets on the leaves.

The background is blurred nicely.

Great shot overall...

Keep shooting.

It's so easy to overdo saturation, but this came out great. Very nice shot!

malcolm,

Was it Yogi Bera who said 'Subtle is best when not overdone?' Tulip, add water, shoot to taste. Presented well, Mother Nature would approve.

I love how you can see the texture on the tulip leaves.

Very well done.
