Tulips in the Light

One of two images from the day of a small pot of yellow tulips our friends gave us when they visited this week. This was taken with my 50mm, the other with my 105mm macro to close out March macro month. I prefer this one, but think the details in the macro are notably stronger: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2014-03-31

@anazad511 Ana, thank you, and have a GREAT time there! When you go to the pier, see if those mafia-like pelicans are still protecting it like crazy! They were so fun to photograph. Enjoy the beaches and your time in such a lovely spot!

really different (and great) take on lighting.

[Teresa]

The translucence of the leaves really makes this, as does the incredible "mood lighting."

[Teresa]

Oops, I meant petals, not leaves. I don't know my flower anatomy! : )

Like the supple light through the taller bulbs, nice low-key

I missed your whole tulip party and a congrats on your TT! (twice?) This is lovely and unexpected. Add me to the fav list. I was so behind I'm just now getting around to commenting. You probably noticed my rash of dozens of photos in the last couple of days. I'm back now!
