About two miles from our house is Blue Lake Ranch. A lovely spot for those seeking sanctuary - well known for their gardens and their food and the silence. I go there frequently to photograph and today I went and I encountered my first Tulip of the year. A nice red one about 2 inches tall, all furled up, and tucked away close to the earth.
For the techies: Nikon D200, WB = Florescent; Tamron 90 mm macro; wide open (2.8) ISO 400, in-camera two frame multiple exposure; hand held.
Each time I pick up the camera I start anew and i am often surprised by what and how i see - how my perception has changed over the years...I kinda like where I am this year ..... so far....but I need help. I need some of you guys to play around with cropping it.....just cropping it if you please.
thank you

No need to crop.
I do not think you can improve on it
It is very well presented

I wouldn't touch it.

Doc Rob,
At first look at your wonderful treatment of this subject, I too was inclined to follow the herd, and cast my vote for "as is"; however, something started to "gnaw" at me about the bottom edge, the more I looked at your image. That brought me to also see a slight top edge crop as well. The whisker off the right edge was more for balance.
I did a very minor overall crop. My eye thinks the crop helps. Of course your view is the only one that really matters.
The matting was added only to help the viewer's eye in looking at the "no crop original" and the "crop version".
Ken
Original no crop.
Crop version.

Moose eyes, yes - thanks - I was thinking it needed a slight crop either at the top or the bottom or maybe both - not much but some - so I'm glad you did that. That helps - thanks!

if you look near the bottom you can see that i used liquifying tool to stretch out the stem and that little section of light surrounding it - i lengthened it about an inch thinking I'd crop it down so that it presented with that little stem grounding the image in the frame - but then I couldn't quite pull the trigger - so off to the Hogs to figure it out.......
you never said - did you ever visit the web site?
