Skagit County Tulips

Skagit County Tulips · 08:55 PM

I took these a couple of months ago and almost forgot about them.

What do you like? What don't you like?

Thanks for looking, CC always welcome.

Nice photographs. Of the first two, I prefer the latter. Either annihilate that background or use a wider lens and make sure everything is in focus. The depth of field looks awkward in the first image. Notice how my observation is demonstrated to great effect in number three. Excellent.

I was at the same Tulip farm earlier this year, almost in the same spot. Really like the third image. The colors are beautiful and tastefully composed. JIM

I'm with the posters above. I find the limited dof in the first two distracting. It would work better in a shot with a less interesting background (perhaps the flowers only). The third shot's wonderful.

Jim I would imagine that we see allot of the same places, It wouldn't surprise me if passed each other driving down the road at some point. Thanks for the reply.

Seems like the consensus here, I appreciate the CC.

Looks like your new here, welcome aboard.

I like the last shot a lot!

These are lovely. I especially love the third image--makes me miss tulips!

I agree with the previous posters.

The colors and contrast are gorgeous.

I like what you were doing with #2, I think just less of the right portion of the foreground and it would work really well.

Thanks for your input, your thoughts are appreciated.

Jimbo · 07-23-2009, 07:51 AM

John, I think this is the same field you were in shot from the front? Looks like the same barn as in your photo? Love the second shot. JIM

skinja · 07-23-2009, 10:17 AM

Thanks Jim, I agree it is definitely the same field, was your shot taken last year? it appears the rows are running in different directions yours North to South, mine East to West.

Jimbo · 07-23-2009, 10:31 AM

this year. colors looks different. jim

skinja · 07-23-2009, 01:05 PM

I like your shot Jim, It is definetly the same field. I took these this year also. It's just really wierd that your rows run one way and mine run the other.

Great colors on the third.
