15 May 2008 6:28am

@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 7:52am

@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 7:58am

@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 from Boerne, United States

postcard pretty! love the tulips!!

15 May 2008 8:10am

@Cheryl: Thanks a lot Cheryl ;)

Red tulips to cheer the day up :) Is that your yard?

15 May 2008 4:46pm

@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 5:14pm

@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
