We do not have tulips here in S W Florida, because it never gets cold enough for them to bloom. It's nice to get a good close look at the inside of this one. I like the way the black part elevates the contrast so that the stamen show up better. Nature is wonderful, and your macro shooting talent is pretty good too.

The subject and depth of field work nicely in this shot. I feel that I would have cropped some left, and maybe bottom to put the primary subject in the lower "third" intersection. There is not much going on in the left side that adds to the story of the image.
I like the way you treated the color in this, so that it's not over saturated. Having the water there was a lucky stroke for this shot. There are some of these in the garden at one of the places were I work.

I like this. But it's a tulip, not a poppy.

Looks metallic in BW. Tulips remind me of an altar.

Definitely worth bragging about. Well done. I like how the camera angle works w/the DOF.

Sweet! the color is the big attraction here, for me, even more than the water drops.

From this angle I think it's busier in B&W than it would be in color.
