Taken today. I removed a single petal so I could see "inside" the tulip. Here's the same flower (plus others) from a few days ago under different lighting circumstances and using a different POV: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2013-02-26
Beautiful detail and color. You know, I think I would have removed that leaf to keep the focus on the flower I like that the whole picture is long, like the stem. Good work.
(A straight upright tulip?! Now there's a novelty too...!)
