Greetings from the Critique Club -

Please bare with me as I give you my first CC comments.

First off - I love the perspective. This shot gives me a feeling of looking into a forest of neverending tulips. The view definitley suits your title. A slightly lower point of view may have gotten an even deeper sense of this.

I believe the colors on this shot could have stood out a bit more. I am not an expert on Photoshop techniques, but I think that an increase in saturation on the green and maybe a slight increase on the other colors would have made these stand out even more (pop as they say). The stems just seem a bit flat to me. Maybe a little dodging and burning on the stems would have helped as well (but I probably only say that because I have become recently hooked on those techniques).

The point of sharpness on the centered tulips work great. I like the blur on the front flowers which just adds to the depth of the whole pic.

Overall I like this shot. Not a typical flower shot by far. Well done on your first Free Study entry. I look forward to seeing more of your entries in the future.

Tim

The green could've been made a bit more vivid perhaps.

I'm going to tell my wife that you've stolen her idea. :)

Well done. I probably would have tried cropping out the bright sky spots at the top.

not for me I'm afraid, a better bugs view may have been from ground level, see the stems coming out of the ground! You may have had to dig a hole for the camera

Beautiful colors. I think I have seen a couple of other shots similar to this one, but this is really nicely executed.
