  A wonderfully intriguing composition, Janine! I love that gracefully curved stem, which accents the curvatures of the tulip superbly! Also a nice contast of shadow against the simple orange background! Well done!

  Very nice change of pace from the popular BP Post using black or white as the BG. Nice Example of how to be extra crative.

  I love the orange-on-orange--was that background there at the show or did you use something of your own? I also love the shallow DOF you used to keep the leaf soft while the flower is sharp! This is one of my faves!
