Took this shot late last night when we got home from the AW dinner.
Taken with the 17-35mm 2.8 (thanks Patrick) and a off camera flash, triggered by the onboard flash.
Comments welcomed:

Very bloody nice, mate.

You've achieved a beautiful pastel feel to this image, which suits the subject down to the ground.

What Gary said.

Indiddeley a fine photo although I would crop the right hand side through the middle of the back tulip to remove the heavy duty blue

not the most constructive comment, but I agree with what has been said by Gary and Chris (great image, maybe a crop) but I was interested in where the off camera flash was placed.

Cheers
Cameron

Thanks for the comments guys and CHris, the suggestion of a crop is a great idea.
Cameron - I was a little tipsy at the time of shooting it but I think the SB800 was directly above and a little to (camera) right, facing down. There has been little PP done to this shot too.
Appreciate the feedback guys - cheers.

Very bloody nice, mate.

Very nice photograph. A bit on the soft side, but it works with those colours.
You might even put in in a get-well card of sorts.

If someone had shown me this image and said who do you think made it?.....I would have answered, "a female without a doubt!". This is a very feminine image???? That it was made by a man, you, shows you are capable of a very sensitive visual photographic interpretation/capture. Mate..I hope you're not going over to the other side?

Nice work...I'd like to see more still life images from you.

It's all the lens.

Seriously, very nice image, Geoff. It has a very 'painterly' feel to it.

Matt thinks you're a girl Geoff. I would whack him with my handbag.

Matt Matt Matt...
I bought these tulips for Bel for her bday and we've been watching them 'open'...fricken amazing I tell ya and when I got home last night, they were begging to be photographed . Feminine, well maybe a tad, but just look at them! Delicious!

Maybe I should buy Bel more flowers?

I can get in touch with my fenimine side Matt, but trust me, I'll never venture to the 'other' side

Thanks for the compliments on the image though... I want the tulips to stop opening...they look even better today!

Don’t listen to Matt, he’s talking a load of bollocks The flowers are lovely and it would only be homophobes that would not take flower pics
