Purple tulips blooms

This is a photo that I took on Easter Morning of some tulips that bloomed that day. I later used these flowers for a painting, "Purple Tulips In Bloom." Thought you might want to see the real beauties. There were not buds on these the night before they bloomed. I had watered them that night. It was a lovely Easter Morning surprize for me! Even better, purple tulips, my favorite!

This is a superb shot. I love the purple colour and the close shot. A simply wonderful capture.

Artist Reply: Thank you Vanessa! The purple really draws your eye! I liked it showed the tiny etails such as the pollen faling on the petals.

Terry, exquistie macro work and the background and its faintest. maching. A beautiful photograph. miguel

Artist Reply: Thank you Miguel! LOL! THe background is actually a window screen. I had the camera set to focus on the flower, and it softens the background when it does this automaticly.

I believe that art often imitates life, and this is gorgeous proof that through your artistry, one can truly witness life in one of its best forms! Terry how beautiful!

Artist Reply: Thank you Carliss! I am working on dozens of paintins of florals, but usually like to wait to review them a month or so, to see them with fresh eyes, then touch up final parts to complete them. I will be taking floral photos much more often in the future as well, I've a good camera now and learned how to use it some.
