Challenge:Flora (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon EOS-10D Location: On a walk around my neighborhood Date: Apr 14, 2003 Aperture: 5.6 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/45 Galleries:Nature Date Uploaded: Apr 19, 2003
It was pretty windy out. I was using my only lens, 28-135 IS. I walked around my neighborhood and just walked right into peoples yards to take pictures of their tulips. I think this one came out pretty good.

Nice composition. The way the stems curve is very effective, a lot more interesting than some of the straight up and down shots I've seen. I get a bit put off by the green stems on a green grass background though. It brings out the red of the petals well, but it doesn't feel asthetically pleasing.
the red petals are made very vivid against the soft green of the out-of-focus grass, and the stems stand out because of their sharpness and smoothness. Nice left to right, bottom to top direction.
