Good because the grain comes second -- as it should. Beautiful.

Finished too low. A poingant delight.

I was expecting to see this on the front page not down in 58th position. Crazy.

Sad to see that a lot of people at DPC do not appreciate photography. Take your blinker's off people, open your eyes, and your minds.

Quiet and lovely - a bit of pink against the grainy mundane.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

The vignette and the image grain really helps to project that mood and feel of a memory recall of a pleasant spring. Perhaps it was this person's first year in a home, not a house, where the planted tulips finally began to bloom in the lovely backyard. I was going to offer the critique that there was too much negative space by including all the fence until I saw the complimentary shapes. Love how the tapered & pointed shape of those pink tulips match the tapered & pointed shape of the top of the fence.
