I liked the curved diagonal lines made by the tulip petals and the texture of the petals (which also shows lines). 1/20s @ f/11, exp. comp. -.33, ISO 250, 105mm.

Wow...look at all the awards in your gallery. This is my all-time favorite! It is as close to perfection as my imagination allows. #711312Wanda B. Anderson November 14, 2007
I love the slight iridescent look to the petals. I've snapped a lot under flowers & leaves and they can be problematic. This is excellent! Any tips? #5074167Becky J. Parkinson November 14, 2007
Wanda,Yes, I saw on your site that you also like to shoot flowers with texture. I am always looking for ways make the flowers look as I see them, but I have varying degrees of success.
For this paricular shot, I simply brought the tulip inside and placed it on a table near a window with lots of natural light streaming in and took some shots of it. It was already leaning over on the plant, so I was able to get this under-shot without trying too hard to get a good angle. I have tried to do that more often...bring the flowers inside since the texture can just not show up well when it is competing with too much sunlight or too much blue shade.
Hope that helps you and thanks again.
