I really wanted to take a moment and express my gratitude for places such as this! When I began this last shoot my concept was yellow on yellow, and I really thought that I accomplished it well. I achieved the focus that I was thinking of, the reflection in the drop was good,..... I was excited. So I posted it here and sent it to a few friends for their opinion and I must say that in this particular case, more eyes are better!!!
Here is (what I believe to be) my final image! Thanks for your time, kindness, and vision!:)

Very beautiful. I love the full tulip in the drops. Now I will go to look for your original postings.

Hi Stuart,
I agree with all of the above. The differnece from the original post is dramatic. Huge impact now! It's amazing that the same techniques for birds (Artie's Turkey post of different views) also applies to all other fields when you think of it. All you did different from the original post is eliminate some BG and the results are stunning! Well done,
Roman
