This week spring came to the northern hemisphere. My mind has been on flowers or the lack of at my new home. I am itching to get out and start tearing up sod and removing stone to make new flower beds and plant some trees.
Gardening is a close second to photography for me and shooting flower photography is a natural fit. This photograph of a bouquet of tulips occupied quite a bit of my studio time. I fiddled and fussed with it playing with a couple different backgrounds to put behind those red beauties. But after some sage advice from Flickr and Facebook friends the purist version won out.
Red Tulips
A brilliant red bouquet of spring tulips fresh from the garden. Perfect for adding a springtime bouquet to your home, office, or bedroom decor.
Tell me which one you like. Do you agree that the plain background is
best? Tulip 2's background was created by yours truly. And I have Pixal Dust Photo Art to thank for the beautiful background on Tulip 3.

As always, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts about editorial, photography, and anything in between in my comments here or on my Facebook Page and Twitter Feed.
I like all three Julie. The simplicity and light of the first one really keep the focus on the tulips.
ReplyDeleteYou've made beautiful use of the texture ... flowers do represent 'hope' don't they?
Thank you so much Bonnie! And thank you for the use of your beautiful texture.
DeleteFramed photograph excellent for wall. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tushar!
DeleteAnother stunning capture, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy! I appreciate that!
DeleteI like the first one best. It's so vivid and clean, with perfect edges against the plain background.
ReplyDeleteNow had I not seen it, the others would have worked for me, too. :)
That's the one most people picked and ended up being my favorite too. I might make a card out of one of the others? Who knows! LOL Thanks for you input. It's greatly appreciated!
DeleteThey are all beautiful! I like the more gray / a drier color, but I like the background in Tulip 2 best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input Pam! I'm thinking of making a card of that one.
