I took this before the Tulip withered away, let me know what you think. I had to crop it a lot to get an undesired bright spot out of the background. I just took this for fun, didnt expect it to look like much, but I like it. Could use more focus or aperature maybe... next year...:rolleyes:

I like this, David. The colors are bright yet muted in their intensity. The focus seems to be a little soft, but that could be from having cropped it a lot. Very nice capture. The only tip I might give is that next time, try to crop it in camera. Not sure what lens setup you were using for this.

I was just using my only lens, Nikkor 28-80mm. I know what I can do better next time I try getting a shot like this, I think. I am just wonding how people like it.:)
