Adjusted curves. No crop, straight from camera.
I wanted more detail in the flowers, however looking back at it I don't like the PP I did, as it made the flowers too dark. Here's the original:

Love the detail on the tulip & the sense of perspective the mountains hlp provide.

What a unique image. That's rare here on DPC. :)

Lovely. Could use a bit of lightening in the shadows, I think.

Not voting.

Lovely colors, detail.

Nice perspective :) Only suggestion would be to have a wider DOF to give more details to the other tulips, and to the background.

Thisis very interesting. I find it unconventional and refreshing.

This is definitely not "Tulips from Amsterdam" Unusual to see them growing in the mountains.

Nice depth of field. I like how the tulips are really lined up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the very close and very far images in this; it's a good attempt, but nothing is really in sharp focus. Maybe doing some USM in processing would bring out the focus some more. I'd also like to see some more of the flowers, but if it's a shot picked from long ago I guess that couldn't be helped.

Nice color contrast and great texture and detail on the first tulip.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting composition and contrast. I probably would have liked it with a little tighter crop, but that is just my opinion.

Nice combination of tulips and mountains.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 06:09:10 AM
unfortunate crop Id say... at least the blossom could be 'whole'


and it had to be really nice place

greetings, Brano

Great shot with the mountains in the background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:00:26 PM
An original idea. Very effective framing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 08:08:14 PM
Simple and true.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:55:20 PM
With lovely mountains in the background. I wish you had included a bit of the stem, the tulip looks too cut off for my tastes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 04:22:42 AM
Nice point of view and use of depth of field.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:19:43 PM
pretty
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:12:28 PM
Beautiful - congratulations.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:16:36 PM
The framing feels awkward to me, but I like the burst of color from the flower.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:24:42 PM
Composition feels very off balance for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:10:16 AM
The tulip being the subject, I feel it should be more visible. A bit to close
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:55:32 AM
I love the angle. It's so refreshing to see an less-typical take on flowers and landscapes. It's a macro and a landscape at the same time, which is very eye catching. Nice job in balancing the lighting. I think the ideal composition might be a little different... less blue sky with horizon closer to the top, show the bottom of the main flower's petals, have the line of the horizon above the top of the flower... but I'm guessing that would have introduced other challenges and taken away the simplicity of the shot. Those are all minor... it's still a great and unique shot. Well done!

I like the disparity between the flowers and the mountains - very interesting photo...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:33:18 PM
Good sht but seems cut off to much.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:34:32 PM
Good perspective shot. Would probably be even more effective if pulled back a little more to really encompass the front flower better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:07:00 PM
A little too tight a crop on the bottom.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 07:07:32 PM
Oooo you cut it off! The best perspective would be to get below it and shoot upwards getting some stem and the underflower. Good colors tho. Try spraying it with water and getting a little more light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 04:12:08 PM
i would have prefered to see a little more of the tulip then just a part of it's head. interesting composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:16:06 PM
interesting perspective

 03/12/2009 12:33:37 PM
Great depth on this shot. Makes me think Tulips in the Alps (?????).

Intersting backdrop. Nice contrasting colours between the tulip and the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:02:35 PM
either the mountains or the tulips..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:08:53 PM
Whatta morphing of scale! Unique take on tulips for sure :-) Processing a little muddy for my tastes, but the vision is right on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 06:25:26 PM
nice but something is missing, or there's to much, not sure
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yeah, this is great. I love this type of composition, and the background is surreal.
