Thanks to everybody for the comments! The dynamic range of this back-lighting scene is out of the capability of JPG but luckily is still in the range of RAW, therefore, I didn't use multi frame. The shutter was so slow because I used CPL and ISO 100 and with needs of DOF, big thanks to the pilots of the hot air balloons, they held the balloons still so there was no motion blur. LOL I think they held still for their riders to photograph tulips from above but I also took this advantage.

| I hesitated whether I should comment or not, because it may well be that I'm the only one who doesn't like your winning photo (congrats anyway). Maybe I've seen too many tulips, being a Dutchie and all LOL. Besides that it's too much overdone in everything for my taste. I would love to see the original, good chance I like it better. Sorry, but that's how I feel. |

| Very different and unigue - a solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done. |

| The composition is great, the rows of tulips leads the viewer to the horizon. All of the colors are fantastic; the greens are rich, the yellows and reds of the tulips are brilliant, the balloons are brilliant and compliment the flowers, and the blue tones of the sky are great with just enough clouds to add character to the sky. I like this image because everything is sharp/focused and the colors are so vibrant. There is a lot of visual interest in this image that I think compliment each other. I compliment you on your keen eye for composition, and I'm sure making the effort to be at the right place and right time to capture this image. This is one of my favorites of this challenge. 10 |
