February 4

Cold, very windy and driving rain today - temperatures low enough that it was just shy of being snow. I'd planned to head into Frederick for "First Saturday" fun - always a fantastic place to find something interesting to shoot.
Forced to stay inside, I had to take a new look at the chaos in my house to find something there. Not even the tulips cooperated. Inspired by CJ Burianek's carnation photo from the other day ( http://www.pbase.com/cjburianek/image/55616290), I walked over to take a tulip shot. A petal fell with every step. ::sigh::

Nikon D70

I like the soft coloring as well. I was tempted to do this with one of mine but have so far stuck to the strict B&W theme. But this shot is definitely made by the bit of color. Great job!

p.s. rules were made to be broken for sure. :O)

Beautiful, soft tones. Voted.

This is delightful in its subtleness. Great DOF and wonderful tones.

You're supposed to TIP TOE through the tulips! LOL

Neat image, however. Very fragile looking -- metaphor for time..

A very delicate soft image. Well done

I really like the small hint soft shell pink on the petals. A very gentle image.

Excellent image.

This is a fascinating picture. I love the softness and the DOf in this image. The black and white only further contributes to a nice image. Great job, Donna
