I know, I've done flowers before. And I've even done pink ones. But they fit for the challenge. This was easy - I know flowers so well, particularly tulips. And I know how to shoot on Black in my light box. Really gotta challenge myself but I haven't entered in a while... Not that this will score well, especially with 320+ entries, but I felt compelled. Hope you enjoy...
Oh, its not rotated. They hang like that. Guess the stems were too long for the vase. Processed in RAW. Cropped, USM, save for web.

A slightly more shallow DOF would've helped this image quite a bit and would've isolated the closest flower more. However, I like the lighting and composition.
Superb entry, particularly for a flower composition which are often boring. You've captured very good color contrasts, and your use of positions combined with shallow DOF provides an element of action. (9)
