So beautifully simple and elegant, Susan. The lighting is perfect, love the red on white, and that beautiful early bloomer just trying to steal the show! #5831250

Leslie McLain level-classic April 23, 2008

Beautiful lighting, beautiful tulips, beautiful comp. I'm impressed with your white background, did you shoot outdoors? Shooting indoors, even with studio lights, my white background is always cream color. #5831670

Thank you Leslie and Laurie :) You make my day because you are both SO talented!

Leslie, this was taken with sunlight coming through the window. In the mornings it's pretty bright. When my backgrounds come out not so white, I usually select them (with the magic wand) and brighten them using levels. I do the same when I want to darken them, which works to make them all black too. #5839732
