Downcast by pflaume

Downcast

After a freezing night, this tulip was tightly closed and forward fallen. It was lovely to watch the bed of tulips respond to the sunshine and warming temperatures. They arose and opened themselves to welcome the day - very much like people do.
This is beautiful! Love the splash of color!

Fantastic capture. Love the story behind the picture. Great color too!
April 23rd, 2013  
Such a gorgeous capture, Lisa. I took a bunch of fence shots when I was in California and kept asking myself, "How would Lisa shoot this?" I was not happy with any of them, but if I get brave enough I may post one and get some pointers from you ; )
April 23rd, 2013  
@yonnie What a generous compliment, Yvonne! I am so touched. I think fenced shots are difficult. I don't know that I have any special technique offer. My usual approach is to take The photo from every possible angle and camera setting. Most of the shots are garbage but if I can find one I like and I'm happy. You know, I would gladly help you anyway I can.
April 23rd, 2013  
Beautiful image...so glad it stood back up in sun! :)
April 23rd, 2013  
Beautiful shot and sentiment! I love how the pink of the tulip stands out against the green. Lovely!
April 23rd, 2013  
Love the colours in this shot. Glad the tulip survived the frost.
April 23rd, 2013
