Well, we all know they don't last long, worth it? You decide...

This is not really macro, but it is an interestingly "cool shot" I guess, so I didn't put in landscapes. who knows, who cares I guess....

Thanks goodness I didn't plant them... I just photographed them this past spring... Finally post processed and loaded for your enjoyment.

They kinda "pop" don't they. :-)

    either you overdid the photoshop process a bit, someone spraypainted the yellow tulips with green or i really need some sleep but those are some funky yellow tulips :D

    That's the phosphorescent fertilizer Chrissie. Good detail find, I didn't see that but it can easily be fixed. Thanks for locating my error.

    Skippy, thanks, your always positive. I think it's like a club of women that run this place, and they do have attention to detail. There are a few clubs, many many churches in the area, and some old home places that are just amazing. One is even historically significant during the Civil War. A grand old place complete with a canonball in the back wall. :D It's right on the Tennessee River.

    Some of my favorite flowers! They sure are beautiful! Maybe if you pass them again, you could try to get closer to the ground when you take it, but still get the nice curve too. Great job!clap.gif

    Thanks, at the time, I was competing with another photographer, if you can believe that. We both had seen them on Sat, and come back Sun afternoon. but he got the jump on me, and was setup with tripod, sort of in my way, so I got what I could get handheld. :-)

    the problem was, they were SO BRIGHT already, that an increase in saturation above a +2, brought out that green to the yellow. This is very uncharacteristic. Typically saturation can be throttled a lot higher than that without yellow oozing green slime. rolleyes1.gif
