Adjusted brightness and contrast only in photoshop. All other is straight out of camera. Pentax *ist DL, SMCP DA 50-200mm ED zoom lens (handheld), ISO 400...can't remember shutter and aperture at moment. No frame on this one as I'm interested in mounting this one.

Great shot Ken. I usually don't like the centered approach, however this works well. Great DOF and a love the vibrant yellow. I wonder what color mounting you should use. I'm amazed at how little post processing was used. Great Job Ken.

WOW Ken. I love all the details you've captured in the bloom! Those black specks of pollen are really a stand out! Well done!

The one thing I would say could use improvement are the large petals to the left and right, kinda sticking out as "wings." If you decide to PS this at any point, I would consider darkening those to match the density of the inner petals.

Other than that, looks great!

This is a strong tulip shot for its atypical pose. I like the title. Beautiful.
