Description Another tulip

It would maybe have a looked a bit better with a slight curve, but the flower wasn't very cooperative, threatened of breaking if I didn't obey it's rules

Texture [link] by

Post-Processing:
Cropped, adjusted the white balance and contrast in adobe camera raw. Adjusted the curves, added a texture set to overlay (35%), added the same texture with a rotation set to overlay (15%). Added three black and white layers, one set to multiply (10%), one set to overlay (5%) and one set to normal (20%). Changed the hue by +7.

Spring came here a month ago but then we had snow! Stupid weather can't make up its mind. So we had daffodils poking out of white powder =/

Do you have it without the texture? I really like the shot, but I'm unsure if the texture adds that much.

The texture is a very nice touch. I like how minimal and simple it is.
The Tulips are just starting to sprout up here.

Thanks
The tulips are just starting to sprout here as well, the one in this shot is probably from a greenhouse or something somewhere

The spring is absolutely gorgeous, I love the bird songs and all the sprouting flowers. But the flowers haven't started coming here quite yet, this one is probably from a greenhouse somewhere

Yes, that's true. Sun, birds, flowers what more could we want to have'
Here are only little tulips in gardens but there are plenty of them in greenhouses(:
