Spent Tulips by lauriehiggins

Spent Tulips

I've been feeling totally housebound from being so sick and then I spent the whole day today doing taxes. So these boxed in and drooping tulips seemed a bit perfect. Plus I just love the light and shadows - so symbolic of life.
Excellent way of framing your subject with the two walls.

Like - there's light around every corner? The picture is so nice because the tulips are not perfect tulips but still have that wonderful colour!

LH, still sick and doing taxes--that is really double yuck! This shot is quite lovely! The framing, light, shadows, and the spent tulips are all so good! Get well soon -- like NOW! :-)

I love this. It doesn't look like it was taken on the cape. The depth of the windows is very European. And this is almost my favorite stage of tulips. When they've gone full blown but still look so full of life. This is a definite fav for me Laurie. Please get better VERY SOON!

Fav! For the lighting, framing, general droopiness that looks like you feel. Please get well soon. Hugs coming your way!

Sorry you feel as droopy as these fading tulips. Get better soon. But your light and focus on these flowers is really spot on. Good to find a subject that says exactly how you feel and you don't have to go very far to get it.

I like the composition and lighting

Only you could make fading tulips look so beautiful! Talk about adding insult to injury, though ... sickness and taxes in the same week?? You deserve a day at a spa! :-)

Wonderful shot! I was going to say the same thing as Sally... talk about a double whammy, sickness AND taxes. Blech! These tulips look about the same as I feel right now.
