Tulip for Dad [Contest Finalists April 2007]
Uploaded: April 27, 2007 04:24:17
My dad gives me tulip bulbs every fall to plant in my yard. The greens always come up, but I never get a flower. He said maybe I plant them upside down! LOL! This year I got one tulip! Horray! So this photo is dedicated to my Dad. It was dark, rainy and windy yesterday when I took this photo. I was hand holding the camera and my ISO was set very high...ISO 1000. F4 1/400. Do you think it looks too grainy?

Wow Sharon, this is beautiful!!! I love tulips!!! The colors and lighting are gorgeous!!! I don't think it looks grainy. If I had my ISO up to 1000, the picture would be ruined. This is awesome!!! #4220747Sam Britt April 27, 2007
Beautiful image & dedication, Sharon. As much as I love flowers, I'm not very good at growing them, either. This looks really great for ISO 1000. #4220971Stephen Zacker April 27, 2007

It's a SPLENDID image, Sharon!!!! Wonderful colors and details!!!! I love it!!!!I'm wondering if you plant the bulbs deep enough. They need to be planted 6 inches deep...just a thought. #4222916
