-Layered With Texture
I bought these tulips with the intention of doing a still life but once I set everything up I was fascinated by the variations in the petals. So instead of the set up I had planned I pulled out a different lens (macro) and decided to just photograph the flowers themselves. There’s something so cheery about tulips in the house while there’s snow outside….they’re a wonderful reminder that spring will be here soon.

I love this one Holly! It looks like a watercolour! I love the orange!
Thanks so much Jan!! I’m really glad you think it has that look. When I saw those tulips with their variations I thought there was a possibility they would photograph like a watercolour or oil. Took a few tries though…..doesn’t it always? LoL …..(from the far north with the luxury of Katie’s laptop. :-)

Tulips are one of my favourite flowers and I never get tired of seeing them! They always remind me that spring is just around the corner and when they bloom in the garden I can’t help but rejoice. Amazing treatment! Just love that punch of orange!
I’ve always love tulips too Joanne….in fact there aren’t too many flowers that aren’t my favourite. LoL I’m so glad you like the way I processed this…..there were so many choices along the way I have a file chock full of different versions. :-D
