Spirited!
Uploaded: April 14, 2010
I admit I am not keen in floral compositions, however, recently I visited Koekenhorf Botanical Garden in Holland (great place for a morning walk around, unfortunately most of the million tulips in display were not yet in flower). On my tour my eye and camera were attracted by these two tulips that did raise "irreverent" from the rest of the bouquet in a large vase, so I focused on them as they looked so appealing to me, against the rest of the crowd in that vase. They are called Perestroika tulips and that is also a nice name for a flower!!! I hope you enjoy this outdoor capture (no studio performance at all, just some sharpening and adjusted light here and there in the basic image), also the experts in flower macro captures, be patient with my quite basic technical merits in floral captures. Carpe Diem!
