Hi Everyone,
This is part of a panel of four that I have prepared for display during our International Festival of Science that takes place in June (www.cheltenhamfestivals.org). The theme is Decadence, so I had some fun with the tulips :D
1D3 105mm macro
ISO 100
f/22 1/4 sec
Exp comp @ +2
I piled up a heap of tulip heads and petals that were past their best and got to work with the in-camera blurs...cropped slightly for composition and a slight curves adjustment.
My post from earlier in the week is another one of the panel.
Look forward to your comments and critiques :)
Best to all,
Nicki

Like the colours Nick and the flow. Might crop a bit from the right as I find my eye going to the white in the corner. How large do you print this?

Jackie, thanks for your kind words. At the moment I have just printed to A3 size - it looks very pretty - I don't have an A2 printer, so it is fairly expensive for me to outsource. There are cheaper solutions on the internet, but I always need to see a colour-match sample before I print on someone else's machine, so I tend to use a guy who is local to me.
