Tulip Close-Up

Saturday Self-Challenge: Macro

Tulips are wonderful subjects for macro photography. I bought a bouquet the other day for the purpose of shooting them for the challenge. I took a number of different pictures of these beauties, and the image above is my favorite of the lot.

I love the way the water droplets have changed colour depending on where they are on the petals, Val. Excellent - especially against that dark background.

Thank you very much, Ron. This is a store bought cut tulip; I think the tulips outside will be a while longer in coming. They can't come soon enough for me!
