Dichotomy of Seasons

I moved this vase of tulips while I was dusting off the table and when I noticed my scarf hanging behind them I thought it might make a decent photo for today.
Great photo. I love tulips.

Ahhhh pretty Tulips mean spring for me... I can't wait. Love the colour in this shot Peggy! ;-)
February 3rd, 2011  
Nice shot.
February 3rd, 2011  
Tulips are such joy. A nice casual shot.
February 3rd, 2011  
The flowers are wonderful and I DO love the textures in the background...
February 4th, 2011  
I didn't mean that in a bad way (now that I re-read it) but the flowers are stiff and formal, the scarf and rattan seem to "just be there". Am I painting myself even more into a corner here?
February 4th, 2011  
Beautiful sharp flowers against a very attractive background. Perfect!
February 4th, 2011  
Tulips in Feb. Love it. Nice photo.

I love tulips, and that is a beautiful bunch! Such a pretty color, and they're displayed very nicely against your soft scarf. I remember a few years ago when my Mom had been in NC visiting my sister the week of Valentine's Day, and she brought back a bouquet of Daffodils from my sisters garden. It's only ten days away. You can hope!!

Love the color and texture !
February 4th, 2011  
Beautiful shot. I love the flowers and gorgeous colors.
February 4th, 2011

February 4th, 2011  
It must be Spring! Great shot Peggy, they are gorgeous! :)
February 4th, 2011  
This is pure art! Beautiful result
February 4th, 2011  
Aww, my favorite flower! This looks like it could be a photo on a greeting card--well done (:
February 4th, 2011  
Indeed it does...it's a beautiful shot Peggy!
February 4th, 2011  
Great eye! All the different textures are so nice! How lucky you are to have such pretty flowers around!
February 4th, 2011  
Absolutely stunning composition here! Great colour, great thirds and great clarity.
February 4th, 2011  
The detail is magnificent !
February 4th, 2011  
Beautiful! I love the scarf and the basket in the background, makes the colors of the flowers pop!
February 4th, 2011  
So beautiful!!! Love the bright red against the soft scarf...
February 5th, 2011  
@kezzam I'm such the noob. What are thirds - as in "great thirds".
February 5th, 2011  
I love it! Tulips always make me happy.
February 5th, 2011

@purpletulips Somehow I'm not surprised that you're a fan of tulips. Next time I'll try to find some purple ones.:)

@evadavis Eva, here's a link to a description of the Rule of Thirds ~ http://www.digital-photography-school.com/rule-of-thirds

@peggysirk - yes I guess it's obvious : )
For as long as I can remember I've always loved purple & tulips.

Thanks for the lovely comments, everyone! I really appreciate the time you take to give feedback. I know how time consuming it can be. Anyway, glad you liked this photo break from the snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, grey skies.....
February 5th, 2011  
@kerrym Well, I wish I could say I have flowers all around. These were compliments of the floral department of my local Harris Teeter grocery store. There is nothing in bloom in my yard right now...we still have snow in the forecast for next week. It's still full blown winter. Ugh!
February 5th, 2011  
It makes a perfect photo offend day.

"Of the" damned auto correct. I need to re read before I click on post comment.

Peggy - thank you for the link. I've not only read it, I've bookmarked the site and then I copied the article into a folder I've started on learning about photography. This was an extremely generous thing for you to do and also very kind. Many blessings on your head, heart and hands.
