Tulip - Leader of the Pack

Just playing with depth of field on this one....basically sooc except for a bit of highlight and shadowing. Sometimes a tulip is just a tulip.......

Looks like he's waving to the others...or leading the charge. Wonderful use of a shallow depth of field here!

@runner365 I thought of Stein's quote...and also " a cigar is sometimes just a cigar"...not sure of the source but definitely Freudian interpretation...lol.

[Granagringa]

@jorlam Thank you always for taking the time to write these comments.!

@kwind An honor to be in such good tulip company as your shot!

[David]

Very good result. The shallow DOF is great.. echoes of the main flower without causing distraction. Keep playing, I say!
