Oh goody, I get to be first :). What a wonderfully captured image. The color is bold, but the way you shot it allows it ro appear so subtle and seductive ;) The shadows are incredible and the petals appear they are made out of tissue paper. Right to my favorites it goes. Thank you so much for sharing this with me ;=)
I can't believe, after so many tulip images on this site, that you are still able to find an interesting angle and make a superb shot. It really is a pleasure, Paul, downloading your photos.
I'm trying to figure out where the light source is, but I am guessing that it is to the left. Well done. It almost looks like the light is coming from inside the flower.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
