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 selective coloring.

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
