Another one of our neighbours pretty tulips, I captured this right after a heavy rain. I liked the water droplets adding texture. A good one for a Friday posting.

Tried some more filters to bring out more contrast and textures, also added the small frame. All of this was done in Adobe PhotoShop Elements 10 on my iMac.

Hope you enjoy your stop over and time. Feel free to leave a comment.

Have a great day, ♥ Skates

The red, and green in this one really make a terrific contrast of color play. I do see some noise in this one, but it's still a very nice post. Happy Friday girlfriend! Tigs♥ =^..^=

Wow this is stunning and so bright it as a lovely warm look to it and the detail is superb plus beautiful colours and spot on composition too.

That's really a deep red, and quite striking. You might have covered over some detail in the tulip but I'm not as sure that it matters.

Well done with those water droplets - sometimes they can end up looking like white spots instead of water

Great depth of colour Pat and the actual bloom is so beautiful.The raindrops are an added bonus that make the image stand out even more.
In the larger resolution there is quite a bit of noise in the greenery

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
