    I like the comp a lot. The flower and its leaves just flow through the image. The sharpness and DOF is good as well. I do agree with Robert that it looks a bit bright. I wonder if adjusting the black point to a bit darker would also increase the saturation a bit more as well?

    I really like the highlights and shadows on the flower itself. Lovely 3-D textured look.

    Hi Michael,

    Like the though behind this and would go for a bit more room all around.
    I do feel that softening the light just a tad might improve this.

    Greetings,

    Hi Michael , I really like this repost of the tulip - the lighting is now much more subtle and suits the elegance of this flower. Nice one!!!
