Another one I took at the park the other day. Couldn't pass these backlit beauties up. Not sure I exactly captured the scene, but it was tough with the backlighting. It's definitely growing on me. Love to hear what you think and your suggestions...

Mike, I think you did a pretty darn good job with this one. I think a couple of your highly lit petals might be pushing the white limit but I'll be willing to bet they didn't blow. I do wish the tulip didn't have the dirt on it although that does make it a more unusual image.

I love the backlighting. I love the way the image falls off into darkness. I think I'd consider cloning out the one stray petal at the bottom and even think about getting rid of the yellow flower in the LRC. I don't think they necessarily add to the image so think about it and see what you think.

I thought the same thing about the dirt and the flower in the LR. I'll try a bit of cloning and repost...
