Wonderful repetition and colors. That sun star caps it off.

Gorgeous. Was the sunstar digitally enhanced in any way? If not, wow!!! If so, it looks very natural.

Excellent control of the tones! Beautiful color! I know hindsight is always 20/20 but how hard would it be to clone out that lowest tulip? It seems a little out of place being lower than the rest.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Norman, I tend to not clone out something as big as a tulip from my shots (we all draw the line somewhere, I guess). I saw it in my comp, but this was also the most pristine foreground row of tulips, so it was a trade-off.

I would think another couple of weeks. Let me know if you come up!

Hey Kevin,
What a really cool shot! I really like how you handled the sun in this one! Did you use a ND grad on this or manually blend in processing? It looks very natural however you did it.

Jim,
I used a Singh-Ray 3-stop reverse GND. I also did a little blending in post to tighten up the star a bit.
