Paradise indeed! What a . . . I don't even know what to say to express how cool this photo is on every level! Tulips are my favorite flower -- not that one would ever survive the Texas, winter-deprived heat here, but its why a photo like this completely knocks the wind out of me. Congratulations on such a prestigious finish in this amazing challenge!

A water drop in the middle, and it would be complete.

Love the colours and the lines.

Such an incredible shot. Not sure if this is an outtake from a previous challenge (I recognize this from somewhere), but still a strong photo. Im sure this will do well.

Very colorful, interesting perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/28/2010 06:43:15 AM
a great location - the colors are intense but not oversaturated - oh to not have the photog in the scene! but it is still very good work

How wonderful that the reds and yellows in the tulips echo the reds and yellows in the balloons... what a surreal and serene scene. I do actually find myself wishing the photog was not in the shot, LOL.

I believe you just hit the photo lottery! Beautiful!!!

fantastic shot, lovely colours

Excellent colour and composition... I love the story it tells... always like a story,.. now this is a flower photo that I like. :)


Now... please bear with me... I'm revisiting a little comment experiment I conducted in the 2009-03 Free Study... something like K10DGuy's comments, but with a twist... the twist being, the story will move from one photo to another within the challenge... also, I don't select just a few photos I start at the first and end on the last as determined by DPC random order assigned to me, with a single sentence for each photo... should be interesting... and you're photo is #8 in the series

Sadly, I think the photographer hurts this

Def. paradise and more now with these balloons going up as well. Super Image. Trees on skyline is great with things happening in the field as well. Really nice 8

This is a really special and beautiful scene. I love the colors, symmetry, leading lines, and the incongruity of the balloons in the scene......8

thats pretty awesome. 8

No kidding! This is a fabulous picture that stands out even in this gem-laden challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2010 11:15:54 PM
A combination of tulips and balloons...an instant concoction for an explosion of color. Nicely done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/24/2010 07:40:55 PM
And how! Lovely, and I do enjoy the inclusion of the photographer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hot air balloons always make for great pictures. Also the lines of flowers are great and I like the photographer included
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Gorgeous field of colors. Great dof to capture everything. Love it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 09:22:27 PM
Very nice use of lines and color. The sky seems to be darkened unnaturally, though, and I would prefer the photog to be a bit larger element of the photo. A tighter crop, leaving out the other 3 balloons would be another great image. 7

Love it!!!!! 9

Great colours and perspective. I love the vibrancy of the whole thing.

Not sure about the inclusion of the other photographer though, I think it ruins the serenity of the shot.

My pick for top 10! Great Shot. 10

I'd like this more if the photographer wasn't there. The scene is simply breathtaking!!! Love the colours, wish I were there.

01/23/2010 09:31:53 AM
your colors are superior...such a brilliant and wonderful shot!!! I love tulips...I assume this was in Holland (Europe) or was it at Holland, MI? I used to live near there...but I don't think it was ever this beautiful...

Wish that I were there.

01/22/2010 07:50:45 PM
this offers so much to observe from the beautiful tulips to the colorful balloons even to the guy in the middle who spoils it "joking"
i am sure this will do well *10* from me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 06:36:12 PM
I hate it when tulip photos outside of Holland look so good! :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 06:29:44 PM
Tulips and balloons, what a great combination.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 05:19:30 PM
The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn? Sure looks like it. :) Beautiful image, colors and the ballons are a nice bonus. Wonderful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 03:50:02 PM
Beautiful scene! I probably would have enjoyed it more without the photographer, but this is really cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 03:47:57 PM
Love the leading lines of the tulips as they guide my eye to the horizon to marvel at the beautiful colors of the hot air balloons taking flight. The beautiful reds and yellows of the floral floor are picked up and complemented in the various colors of the balloons. Yes, indeed this is a wonderful and beautiful moment to fire off some photos like this photographer here is doing. Makes me wish I was along side to drink in the sights live and take some photos of my own:-) Very beautiful photo along with some great memories I'm sure.

I just went wuh to wow... its a treat to be able to vote on pictures like this! 10

This is a beautifully process image. The colors of the tulips and bollons match well. The drawback is the photographer, he kind of spoils the scene for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2010 11:13:57 AM
This is great. The trees balance each other, the balloons balance each other and the color scheme ties them all together. I love the guys jeans being the same color as the upper sky. It's kind of busy but yet it all works. Nicely done. If I could nit anything, it might be that house in the left along the horizon, but no big deal. 8
