I sat in my car for four hours waiting for the rain to quit long enough for me to get some images with raindrops on tulips at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival this year. I like the colors and the strong diagonal composition. The raindrops really add to the mood.

Nice detail and lovely bright colours. The composition is good and it makes a good desktop.

There's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in. Though it's red blood bleeding from her now, it's more like cold blue ice in her heart. She feels like kicking out all the windows and setting fire to this life. She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright, but all the colors mix together...to grey. ~*DaveMatthewsBand*~
I like it! looks good in large dimension-which is crucial to me for a nice desktop picture. sitting in the car for hours was time well spent. [Applause here]. Talent indeed.

Ah Michael. I've been very picky when it comes to chosing a favorite of your works. This is it so far and one I will enjoy on my all too busy desktop. ;) A wonderful color, composition, and one gorgeous tulip.

Very nice. I've tried to take pictures like this before, but you do it really nice blurring out the background, empathizing the flower and rain drops.

From the number of comments, you can tell this is a professional photo, as are the rest in your gallery. I agree with the others. This makes a wonderful desktop wallpaper. Congratulations - the wait paid off.

"Better a good image of something boring than a bad image of something great!"
Excellent color, Michael! Also, the composition is perfect and the muted light as well.

Ned Knott was shot and Sam Shott was not. So it is better to be Shott not shot than Knott shot, is it not?
I voted once, can I vote again, I give it 100 and clicked add image

The beer urges me on, the bewitching beer, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.
Homer, The Odyssey
(note: beer substituted for wine)
I love red roses, but this tulip is just as good! I love the red color. You did a wonderful job! Your waiting hasnt been wasted.

Yes, the photo is top heavy. Top heavy with merits. Should have been captioned with poignant title such as "Longing".

No. The journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take. The grey-rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all will turn to silver glass. And then you see it. White shores and beyond. The far green country unto a swift sunrise.
deserves a 100 c-index, darn that rating...really cool pic...
