Thanks to everyone who voted. I'm still feeling my way around this site and it's good to have evoked some response - whichever way it goes. Thanks again.
I'm surprised how few flowers were in this challenge. This one is quite impressive, I like the fading of the blossom and the beauty of the dew. Great colors and lighting too!
So much to look at. Lines, colors, bokeh, The tack sharp focus softens quite a bit in the lower left portion of the flower. Powerful shot, nonetheless.
Love the texture and detail of the flower. Excellent composition and entry into the frame I love the dew drops they really add to the photo overall. Lovely Macro shot.
Fabulous colors and textures in this flower. I love all the shades of purples mixed with the whites in the petals. You captured the details perfectly from the swirl of texture on the petals to the water drops. I do have a critique on this photo and that is the border takes away total viewing pleasure. Let the beauty of the photo stand on it's own. Draw your audience in by showing off this beautiful tulip big & beautiful - don't cage it within a heavy border.
Amazing detail. They always say that a flower should be fresh, nearly immaculate for photographing. You've proven that this is not always necessary and that even a so called "imperfect" flower can be gorgeous. Like the light btw.
