nice tulips field, lovely capture

Very beautiful. You must be in the Southern Hemisphere, a few months to go before seeing these again!!

thanks very much - I appreciate the encouragement

Welcome to renderosity, a beautiful display of spring colour, well captured. Diane.

WOW! This is cool. I don't know diddly-squat about flowers and so the only way I even know that these are tulips is because you said so. All of that aside, this is a great shot. I love the nicely jaunty angle of the flowers in frame and the colors are superb. I like the clarity and the way this seems as if you were sitting right smack dab in the middle of a flower bed as you took this. This is a fantastic first post! Excellent Depth of Field too...I love the way it looks nice and crisp, but still a bit dreamy. As for living inside one of these...I never actually thought of that, but now that you mention it, they do have a nice sort of "tea cup" shape inside. Okay, I'm gonna shut up now! But before I do that...welcome to Renderosity, and this is a great start to your gallery! I look forward to seeing more.

his is really beautiful. I like this a lot. It has a painterly quality about it that's quite mesmerizing. The background fades away from the clarity of the foreground, giving a really awesome sense of depth. All-in-all this is a really cool shot. It's one I could see framed and placed prominently on a wall where everybody can see it. As for living inside plants, I've often wondered what it would be like as well. I've always wanted to live inside a tree although I've heard if you are going to live inside of a flower, a sunflower has more closet space. Glad to see you posting here on Renderosity and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to Renderosity, I think you'll like it here.

This is a beautiful capture of these tulips. Love the color and contrast against the green leaves. Welcome to RR and I look forward to your next posting. Dana

A very beautiful capture, dear Kate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome here at RERO !!!!!! Hugs, Karin :)

Very nice to see these beautiful tulips this time of the year... Welcome in R'osity, Kate ! I'm sure you will enjoy it here ! :~)

Welcome to Renderosity! This beautiful photograph caught my eye while I was browsing the Photography Gallery, and when I clicked it open to comment, I noticed Chip and Corey had already been here. Click click click ... all of a sudden I tumbled to the fact that you must be Corey's sister! :D (Sometimes I'm a little slow, but I get there in the end.) So you are doubly welcome, in my book. I love this photograph for its light and color, composition and depth of field, so you are most welcome as a photographer. Your brother is a friend of mine, so you're welcome as the sister of a friend as well! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photography. This image is superb!

welcome to the gallery and you joined on my birthday.beautiful tulips and start for many more posts to come

Tulips are always lovely to photograph. adn you did a great job here. Sometimes I think insects are the lucky ones to get such a beautiful place to visit.

Right before I came here, I was in Corey's gallery at long last (I've been absent from RR for a long time, and catching up has been a slow process of a few galleries each day, this week). And I saw that you were C's sister, and your mother was there too: Wow! Family! Well you have the art gene too, I felt it when I saw your gallery the very first time. I agree with tara (auntietk) and Richard (Richardphotos), etc, that this is a beautiful capture. Not just for all the reasons stated, but for the luminous quality in the petals and the feeling of light coming through them. A fine first upload. I see you've got several more now, and I hope you post many more after that. And as for living inside the flowers---since several people gave their thoughts---I think it would fascinating until a bee came around, at which point I'd call 9-1-1 and get the hell outa there in no time. But it would be great to see stamens as giant redwoods, and I imagine the fragrance would be overpowering...

simply beautiful !

Gorgeous!
