Fay great shot. Aren't the insides of tulips great to take photos of. I will be planting my spring bulbs soon and can't wait for spring and a great display of flowers.

Great shot Fay I really like the crop it works well!
"Tip- toe throught the tulips" remember that song by Tiny Tim (I think) ? Anyway I'm now humming it lol I think it was the vision of you chasing them that did it !

Another stamen with petal backdrop image in a short amount of time. I love this for the rich and vibrant colours. Did you have to pluck or damage the petals that would have obscured the shot from the angle you chose?

Wonderful image Fay.

oh my goodness...been away for a few days. Pleased to have all of your comments. I only pulled down one lip (petal) gently with one hand....could explain why the image could have been sharper. Have to admit that I did hang my head in shame when that other wonderful tulip image went up...but hey, this was still fun for me to do. cheers everyone
