Description It's early spring and the rain seems to be fighting with the sunshine. After a hard winter of quiet and introspection, I finally feel the stirrings of Spring. Tulips always mean that the sun is coming back, that the storms are really going to fade... at least for a little while. And that's real to me.

Submission #1 for the "Real" Photography Contest
Cross your fingers for me... I hope I do well.

I love this shot I just got a new camera and I'm loving the macro. I like the way the background is a bit hazy and out of focus. The flower is lovely and should be the center of attention.

You're doing a superb job with all your recent submissions. I'm falling in love with this image, especially the angle and the focus. You've really gotten this one dead-center. PERFECT or DAMN CLOSE!!!1!

It's a beautiful shot. I love Tulips. ^_^ All the little details are wondering, like the texture on the petals. You definately get the feeling as a viewer that you could reach out and actually touch this flower through the picture, and that's great, especially for a photo contest where the subject is "Real."

Just as a thought, it might be interesting to do a similar shot where the inside of the flower (where the seed-pods are) is in focus, with the rest a little fuzzy.

Thanks so much for your comment. I think you are right, a differently focused shot might have been fun to do too... I really can't wait to meet up with you and go on a shoot... one of these days when I have some free time... (free time... lol... what a concept).

What is this "free time" you speak of? Seriously though, I'll pretty much have the summer off (since I work nights) . Right now is unusually crazy thoguh because I'm in track season, so I'm travelling just about every weekend. >.<
