Pretty light...I love the "freshness"...and how perfect is that little dew drop?

Attractive subject choice - composition with the colors other than yellow, and the lines and points of the stems/leaves make this work nicely.

One of the best flower pics.

This is a good photo and has potential to move out of the good category into the outstanding. Speaking of 'outstanding' the yellow tulip stands alone in at field of red tulips. You need to further categorizes this lone colored tulip as standing out from the crowd not only be color but by stance and position. The red tulip to the right obscures a small portion of the yellow tulip not to mention appears to tower over it. This overshadows the yellow tulip and robs attention away from it - which it should remain your main focus with nothing to distract or detract attention away. Positioning the yellow flower to appear in the far left hand corner would call direct attention to it and subtly move it to be 'first' in line just as long as it is in sharp focus while the red flowers tend to lose sharp focus as you move down the line. Also I love how you managed to capture this yellow flower with just one single dewdrop hanging precariously near the bottom petals. It further makes this flower distinct from the rest. Lastly I have to mention that the hues in this composition are beautiful and vibrant.

Like the composition, pitty though that the red tulip in front clips some of the yellow flower. -7

Nice water droplet. Good shot.

Aw, poor little thing, all by itself with all the others. And smaller too! :) Nice capture, I like the water drop on the bottom, just wish I could see the whole tulip. DOF is also well done. A 7

Good composition, nice colors. I like the fact you have a green background for your subjects, helps meld the stems into oblivion. The lighting is VERY harsh in the image, I can't be sure whether it is sunlight or man-made, if man-made I would suggest both a diffuser and perhaps some way of backlighting the yellow tulip more, giving it a bit more of a glow. If the sun, then a large piece of tissue paper strategically placed or something similar to tone down the hard light. The other thing I'm finding problematic is the focus. It looks fairly good on the stem and leaves of the yellow tulip but the main focus (IMO) should be the petal area of the tulip and the water drop. Yellow seems to have a way of blotting out details so attention to focus on the petals would probably give this image a bit more oomph. 5.

Beautiful capture. Vibrant color. I like the focus being on the yellow tulip.Crisp and clear image. Good luck! 8
