Thanks for the fave. Unlike a lot of people, I quite like the light and airy effect you can get with a white card and a little overexposure....The shot...not me.

I love tulips too. They are the precursor of Spring. Tell you the truth. I am a pro gardener, and all my gardens are about a month ahead. Good news for me, but not the planet.

Just a slightly different treatment.

Wow this is also awesome .... you've managed to keep it soft while still displaying all the texture in the petals!!!

I overexposed a bit, then lightened it in 'Levels'. If you use 'curves' after this you can usually keep the detail. Thanks for the comment.

Very nice Nig!! I like how the pink isn't too bright against the background, just right!

Thanks. Praise from you is praise indeed.

Ooooo la la, a nice feminine side of you showing.
The colours are very pretty. I like the gradient colours of greens behind the pink tulip. The effect is soft as the white background seems to take away the intensity of the pink flower, it's a neat effect.
The shadow under the flower has a slight purpley, blue tone which I like!
Good job

Thanks...and I am all man!!!!!!
I wanted to get a soft feel to the shot so I overexposed in camera and lifted the levels. I tried to soften the colour of the flower and I muted the shadow under the flower with a white card reflector. Which also gave a hue to the shadow. Glad you like it. Surprised you can see it through that bloody hood! Do you go round mugging old ladies?

Oooo la la, a new hobby to consider... groping men!
I love my hood!

Very sugary submission from you Nigel - I do like it honest, though I'd like to see a thin black outside edge to it but that's just me - it's yours after all is said and done
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are right. I think a black edge would have worked better. But then I am on the second glass of 'Glen Moray' single malt that a customer bought me for Christmas......Smooth with a capital Sssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Okies ... I've pinched the wife's Irish as I've run out of Scotch .... try it when sober then Nigel !

I prefer Irish, but I am too much of a tight bugger to pay the prices.

Yeah it is a bit heavy on the £s ... Cally loves it coffee so that's what she gets

What a waste!!! Mind you, I like the odd drop in coffee myself.

I like this a lot, it's quite different from your usual style. Great detail and focus, and also really nice choice of background. That little blue hazy bit near your name in the top left is a genius touch, seems to add a teeny hint of extra color to the overall 'feel' that makes it perfect.

What blue hazy bit? don't say my monitor is knackered.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup he's right!! You need a new monitor!

Bollocks. That hazy bit is a leaf.....muppet.

ok, so do you have a light board or how did you get the white background this time?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the fave on....something else.
Light board!!! Do you think I am made of money??
It is just on a piece of A4 paper by a window, and I held another piece as a reflector to lessen the shadows. The rest was done with a tweak in Levels in PS7.

Well done! I should be a fly on the wall watching you sometime...

I have to rush my stuff. I have lots of jobs, like housework and decorating and making dinner etc. etc.
