Default Tulips

I drove past a home that had thousands of tulips in the yard. I took a few pictures without leaving my car, then zoomed in for the first picture.

I don't know much of anything about enhancing photos with programs like Photoshop.

Hoping for some feedback. Thanks in advance for any comments or criticism. I have thick skin. I used to sell insurance.

Hi there Scrooge and welcome to DPS. Great pictures of the tulips. I can see you have a warped sense of humor after reading the bottom of your post, I think you'll get on well here.

Yup reallly nice stuff. WHy don't you ask the owner if you can photograph some of the flower? I can't imagine they wouldn't be flattered that you recognize hard work that went into making such a beautiful display...then you can get out, move around and expand your wings!

Welcome to DPS!

Nice range of colors you have displayed here. I like the chair in the uppr right corner of your second photograph. I think it adds lot of interest.
