I've been having great fun photographing tulips again this spring.
I know few of the fine points of postprocessing.
Thanks to all for posting your gorgeous photos in this section of the website and for your very helpful comments.
I love these tulip images and especially love that you didn't do the typical composition. I would encourage you to check the yellows - I think they are within range but they might need to be pulled back just a bit to show more detail.
