Intriguing; very strong graphically, although i wonder about the black border - useful at the top of frame, perhaps, but the un-exoected cut-off at the bottom is perhaps more intrusive than i think you intended. There's also a graininess - a very fine graininness, but nevertheless present - which to my eye doesn't quite fit with the highly-controlled set-up here. It might just be a black--point theshold thing - the descent into pure black from the mid-tones seems very sudden, looking carefully at the stems of the blooms, and that makes the tonal graduations of the more shaded areas of the flowers lack that sense of smoothness.

Love this one! Rainbows are hard to photograph unless they're in front of a really grey sky. Nice detail!
Do you love your Panasonic FZ30?

Comment by ShutterPug:
nice still life image. Lighting seems a tad bit bright on the tulips, and the focus just a bit too soft. I have seen similiar shot to this often - each time I wish it had been done with the tulips at different stages of opening.

Should have let the stems go full frame.

Perfect lighting and composition.

There is an awful yellow color cast, though.
