 Oh! To be a flower
Nodding in the sun,
Bending, then upspringing
As the breezes run;
Holding up
A scent-brimmed cup,
Full of summer's fragrance to the summer sun.

The poem seems to fit this perfectly. I like how the tulip is opened up to the sun and is isolated by the overlay. Your chosen colors are serene instead of what many would do for the DPC-friendly picture.

I like how it does look like it's nodding in the sun.

Such a gorgeous tulip! I can see why you were so anxious for them to bloom!

Nice image. The flower actually looks as if it is growing through the overlay

You've done a beautiful job with the pp here. I love the scratched old film feel. The tones and colours work really well, too.

Oh, I love that. "A scent-brimmed cup". That is perfect. I love the stem being just a shadow. And of course the scratchy processing adds nostalgia, which I also love!

Overlay works very well with this image. Composed just right.

Great great overlay, I love how the flower comes up out of the murky background and just pops in your face!

Great bokeh. That tulip looks like it's floating in space -- a UFO.
