No, I didn't add the hybrid tulip, it was there.
Yes, the tip of the bud really bothers me, too.

How did I every overlook this wonderful photograph? Stunning and now in my fav's.
I think we all need to go back and look at some shots from the past. We may find gems such as this one that we have overlooked.

Thanks for sharing.

8 - Beautiful. Very good concept. Excellent title. Fairly minor, but 'Be Different' - all in title case would be better in my opinion. Like to have seen the 'different one' 'pop' more, somehow (maybe even by a variation in crop, although I do like your framing, crop and composition). Maybe also cloning out the tip of a bud poking over the top as well, but again, fairly minor.

I think you got it exactly right with the back and front bokeh emphasizing the subject being different (not voting though)
