Tulip - Stems

#30 ...Although one can't really tell that this is a shot of a white tulip, it is indeed, number 30 for me...I started before the 1st of March and haven't decided if I will stop now or continue for another few just to make it the entire month. Not sure what do to after tulips....lol.

You are in charge of your decisions. Don't do anything that causes anxiety! Photography is supposed to be creation and achievement giving pleasure!

@maggiemae Thanks, Maggiemae...I am just waiting to see what I decide tomorrow...no anxiety implied; I've really been enjoying this project and seeing where it has taken me. Thanks for you kindness.

If you think you have 4 more in ya then go for it but if the tulips are too much then maybe move on. From the look of it, though, you seemed to have had a ton of fun! This was an interesting change...focusing on the stems instead of the flowers. Awesome green color!

a most fantastic abstract - your creativity knows no bounds.. absolutely love the overall shape and the dark ground to push forward that gorgeous green of the stem/leaves.. the detail in the leaves is totally visible yet because of the Dof is not intrusive.. love it!!

Neat abstract, lines

[JackieR]

Your shots of one item have been inspirational!

[Phil Howcroft]

lovely abstract feel to this :)

[Danette Thompson]

Very nice. Don't stop short! :-)

[Granagringa]

@cjphoto Well, I had at least one more in me...we'll see what tomorrow brings. And so glad you like the green...Consider it dedicated shots to you and Fred!!!

[Granagringa]

@jorlam What high praise and a fav, as well. thank you, Jorlam, I value your input.

[Granagringa]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond What a very nice thing to say! Thank you.

[Granagringa]

@seattlite @phil_howcroft Thank you both; I hadn't thought of it as abstract so especially like that description (I even added the tag!).

[Granagringa]

@danette Thanks, Danette....not stopping short, already did the 30 I had set out too...but I will try to find a few more angles to get to the end of the month. Always, thanks for the comment and encouragement.

I really like how the stems and leaves curve - makes for an interesting study of how tulips grow.Excellent DoF here to give just enough detail of the leaves yet keeps the background blurry.
Well done.

[Granagringa]

@farmreporter Thanks so much, Wendy. Your comments are so well thought out and keep me conscious...sometimes I'm quite aware of what you've said as it was what I had in mind, other times it makes me more conscious of what's there that I hadn't noticed. Alway a thank you!

[Granagringa]

@jorlam I am so very honored that you would include this shot in your fav of another 365er. I know that you follow so many wonderful photographers here and for you to have chosen one of my shots for this has made my day!!! Thank you enormously.
