More Spring blooms

[Roman Kurywczak]

Taken today......more of my front yard blooms........this time a tulip. Always wanted to do an ultra close up. Since the flower was mine....peeled down the front 2 petals and stamen.........so I could show the inside of the tulip. Used the Canon Mark lll and the 1.4 tele and a 20mm extension tube with the Sigma 180mm macro. Macro twin lights set at minus 2/3 at f32, 1/100th sec. at ISO 1250........it was windy outside!
As always, comments welcomed and appreciated,
Roman

Well done, tack sharp. Great job and concept

An interesting approach Roman and the very vivid red tones give impact to the image.
I am left though wanting to see the base (origin) of the stamens. This no doubt would include the top of the stem supporting the flower head. As presented here I would like to remove the black triangle in the LH corner.

Excellent image, Roman. Fantastic detail in the petals and stamens. Very unique perspective and composition. I really like it, Roman.

The vertical crop is perfect here and the details are super.

Agree with John Cooper 100% on his crop and corner comments.
