Thanks, Tina! Yes, the colours were so beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Hope next year the city near your area will start the festival again.This is beautiful! I just love Tulips. Especially red ones.
We have a city near me that has a Tulip festival every year, but as you experienced, it was not held this year or last year. I am really hoping next year it will be back. Fields and fields of them in every color of the rainbow.
Thank you, priyambubai ! Glad you like itWow!! That's a beautiful picture!!
Thank you for the compliment and advice, Chavezshutter !Fantastic! Beautiful colours and bokeh, lovely flower and edit, really well put together. One thought I do have is f/2.4 is the widest your lens goes?, if you really needed the extra light or want the thinnest DOF possible than all good , otherwise I think it's better to narrow your aparture to something like f/3.5 where the sharpness and overall performance of the lens will be better. All lenses perform at their best when they are neither at the bottom of the scale (aperture,zoom,etc) or the top. Overall its a great capture and my thought on the f/stop is more of a question of whether you needed your widest aperture and its cost in image quality, I think you did great on this photo
Thank you, Andy, for the compliment and suggestion.Very nice image and if I had any critique it would be that maybe if you had rotated the camera a little or moved a tiny bit further to the right, you would have captured the red tulip with a frame of yellow tulips around it in a very pleasing way. As it is now the red tulip interacts with the yellow one on the right side instead of standing alone. Just a thought..
