A few choice shots from my visit to the Tulip Festival in Mt. Vernon, WA this past April. I thought these turned out quite well, but I know I have much to learn so any critique is welcome and encouraged. Thanks for looking!

Love the colors. The vibrant contrast between the red and green is wild. It almost gives the impression that the reds are painted on the greens.

The colors were indeed vibrant. It was a challenge to deal with during post processing!

#3 she is too close to the top of the frame (for me), and in #1 I'm not comfortable with her walking 'out' of the frame. However #2 is spot on and I love the contrast of your beautiful wife's clothing amongst the gorgeous blooms.

Thanks for the comments! I had play with the cropping on the ones you mentioned since there were other elements in the frame that would have been more detrimental to the composition than the awkward framing.

My wife sure knows how to dress the part though. It was quite a chilly day and she braved it for the "shot"
