Tulip Band
Uploaded: December 13, 2009
This is a newly edited re-submission from April 2008. I took it in late afternoon light and my husband stood behind holding up a piece of black fabric for the background. I'm donating a matted and framed print to my school's annual auction -- hope it brings in more than I spend getting it ready :)

Thanks Tammy and Karen. After looking at this for a bit, I decided it felt a little crowded on the right so I added some space there, changed the crop ratio slightly, and scooted everything over. Hope you still like it :)Tammy M. Anderson
It's beautiful, Nikki. I think it should do very well at the auction.

Well, I was just going to comment on the nice comp, with the space on the right that they're leaning into, and now I see that you just added that. Good! It's a lovely breath of spring here, and I'll bet it does just fine at the auction. :) #8212721Ken R. Frischkorn December 13, 2009
