I agree with Julianna's comment but I really like it the way it is now, too. I just like it a lot, I love red color. I smiled when I opened the full size - thank you for this:)!

Comment by JuliBoc:
I am not a fan of very shallow DOF unless there is really one unique subject surrounded by similar subjects. In this shot, the red and yellow tulips are all beautiful, and I think I would have preferred to see them all in focus, and possibly with a little burning to darken the solid red ones to make the multi-colored tulips stand apart. The colors and light here are wonderful, though, and you have a beautiful image.

Very rich color and a nice subtle (yes, subtle!) composition. The striated variety kinda forms a center group massing within the solid colored variety. It's subtle, but it gives the shot character and form.

Your subject takes up most of the frame, but it doesn't fill the frame to me. I like the warm lighting, looks like a sunrise or sunset saturation. The dark building in the lower right corner is bothersome.

NIce colors and DOF. I really like how you centered the DOF. It draws you in.

Bob, the colors really pop in this, and I'm surprised it didn't score higher. I think one thing that would help finish this would be a frame.

Tighter crop to fill the frame would have made it more appropriate in this challenge for me
