Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:47 pmWow! They're lovely, beautifully rich colours. And those tulips look fantastic, I actually feel as though I'm lying down next to them.
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:53 pmThese are fantastic! Tulips are my fav flowers, and they just look so warm and rich in their colours! Well done. They are amazing.
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 9:45 pmMaster, your Kung Fu is strong!
As somebody else said, the low level tulip shot is wonderful. Love also the texture of the bladed grass and the windmill.

I really enjoy your work and think you've found a distinctly personal style. You're images always scream off the screen with lovely saturated colours that mangage to be interesting without being extreme. My favourites from this bunch are the first shot & the windmill shot from the first post and the flower in the second post. Strange thing is you've managed to even make a white flower have that oversaturated feel. Like having a 100,000 watt light on the subject!
Superb.

Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 11:23 amInteresting and Very colorful shots, Dee. The windmill against the sky shot is very cool, IMO.
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 11:31 amDee great shots, glad it isn't my turn for pic of the week 
The low level and the rows of tulips are excellent
The low level and the rows of tulips are excellentPosted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 12:04 pmI agree Glen there were some good ones this week. I thought I had a good shot with my nocturnal shack, then dee posted his nice ones, and I hadn't even seen Darb's shot on sand dunes, amongst others! A good competitive week, it's just too bad that I didn't win 
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 12:59 pmNice images Dee. I think the composition is excellent.
There is just a tad too much saturation in some of the reds IMHO - tends to make the tulips look plastic (just a personal view, I realise others may not agree) .
But, that doesn't prevent these pix from being fantastic to view.

Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 1:37 pmDee - your compositional skills matched with the superlative colour make for award winning pics - the youth of Australia also have another saying ”Fully Sick” meaning wow, great, sensational et al
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 4:30 pmYou never stop do ya? Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing!
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2005 8:44 pmBeautiful shots Dee. I truly enjoyed them
