MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Very pretty indeed, I love the undulating tulip heads in the background and the almost straight line at the front, a lovely display.
I hope you get your tech matters sorted, I've got this to come, when we finally install our new computer :)
15 May 2008 9:42am

@Betty: It's going Super Betty, thanks so much :)
@laughingwolf: Now Wolf, it's not always about you lol
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I really like your processing here, Lorraine. It has such a vivid look to it. I must admit, though, that I don't really care for the tree dividing the photo in halves, but that's just me, and I would still rate this as a highly successful image.
15 May 2008 12:52pm
@Andrew Gould: thanks a lot Andrew, I appreciate your comment very much, I gotta tell you though that I loved the tree in the middle, call me weird ;)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
The background has a pattern formed by vertical lines, at right angle to the lines of green leaves, the schist stones, the lines of red tulips and the green grass in the fg. The definition is great. The non-uniformity and the colour of the wooden wall enriches the image. So, it's much more than a group of red tulips.
15 May 2008 12:58pm
@António Pires: Wow, I'm not sure I deserve such an outstanding review of this photo, considering that this shot takes itself it's so perfect, but thank you very much :)
@Cheryl: Thanks a lot Cheryl ;)
@Daroru: Glad you enjoyed it Daroru :)
vu@granby - Wolfgang from Canada
Un concours de beauté entre tulipes et piss-en-lits, bravo!
15 May 2008 2:16pm

Red tulips to cheer the day up :) Is that your yard?
15 May 2008 8:22pm

Absolument magnifique Lorraine. Les tulipes semblent flotter dans l'air!

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Sympa ce jeu entre lignes et matières : les horizontales (herbe, pierre et bois) et le vertical des tulipes sur 2 rangs. Bien vu.
15 May 2008 9:46pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Merci beaucoup Evelyne :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I like the symmetry & formality of this shot, and the red of the tulips is striking against the background.
15 May 2008 10:14pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thanks a lot Richard, like I keep on saying, this is not to my credit, it takes itself,it was so vibrant. Ok I had to stop in the middle of the road to take it, but still lol
