- 22nd April 2005 - Toussled Tulips

Had a useful day in the garden, but I must empty the wheelbarrow sometime soon...



The usual dilemma of choice for the PaD. Was going with the barrow shot, then had a last go at the tulips. The PaD is a crop of a distant zoom shot. I did do a macro shot shown full frame here,



but preferred the PaD at the end of the day... mainly because of the black triangle in the lower left of the macro image and the slightly different angle. Anyway, these are the same tulips that were shot in the sunshine on April 12th.



They're now in the toussled stage, and appealed! No sun on them today though.

Enough here for a party so I'll bring the wine! Red or white?
Guest 23-Apr-2005 20:02
So simple, but then so complex when you look in detail - nice one.
Guest 23-Apr-2005 10:31
Crisp and fresh ... I love it! What a dilemma ... too many images to choose a PAD from ... if only I had that problem on a regular basis, lol! :)
Guest 23-Apr-2005 10:17

I was sure I had posted a comment on this one...hmmm !! Still as beautiful as they were earlier, Ian.

They're all great flowers Ian, think maybe I like this one best. Tough choices. Hues are so wonderful.

This is an amazing brilliantly colored photograph. But it is more than the colors. The pedals are mesmerizing, their shape and sharpness are beautiful.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 22:56
lovely tones in this.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 22:02
Great image. I love the way it is entirely filled with petals

Excellent close up of the tulip. Lovely mix of colours and the lighting is good too.

I love the color in this image. Very fresh and the detail on those red lines truly gives this picture even more interest. Very nice.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 19:23
Wonderful color, Ian...love how the subject fills the frame.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 18:59
Really pretty Ian.

My god... this is fantastic Ian, the best choice.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 17:50
Love the vibrant color!!!
Ric Yates22-Apr-2005 17:41
Great shot - the depth of colour and lighting work perfectly!
Guest 22-Apr-2005 17:35
Very good shot. As for the wheel barrow, let it go a while longer and just say it is a mobile planter.
markvm22-Apr-2005 17:34
Love all the different directions this image takes me!
Linda Willets22-Apr-2005 17:06

I can see why you had problems. They all look great. I do love the layers and the streaks of red in your choice for PAD.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 15:48
Beautiful photos! I like the layered effect in this one and the wonderful warm colors.
