This is beautiful:) Love IT! #1463006Kristin Duff May 14, 2012
Love the background and the light thru the tulips! #10137537Dale Hardin May 15, 2012
Lovely Beth. Just can't go wrong with back lit tulips. Classic. #10138104Jeff E Jensen May 15, 2012
This is beautiful, Beth. I would like to see a tad more room at the top though. Perhaps matching what is on the right side. #10138238Debbie E. Payne May 15, 2012
B9th - You've got yourself a great floral image here. Love the bokeh in the background and the backlighting. Very nicely done. I don't think it needs more room at the top but it wouldn't be too difficult to do if you want to try it.Michael Kelly May 15, 2012
Great exposure and BG. This is a lovely shot. Like Jeff, I think it could use just a touch more space at the top. #10138581Beth Spencer May 15, 2012
Thanks everyone, and for you Jeff, I added to the top.Jeff E Jensen May 15, 2012

With this photo, I can smell the rain in the air and feel the sun breaking thru the clouds! Still in love with that awesome background! #10139187Alexandra Hankova May 16, 2012

Congratulations on the EP :) I love the green from the background; great idea to use the screen door. #10140032Peter W. Marks May 17, 2012
An ingenious solution to shooting on a rainy day, Beth. Well done. And Kristen, ditto your remarks; that is what images should create in we viewers, those certain thoughts that go beyond the pixels! Beautiful! #10140207Aimee C. Eisaman May 17, 2012
Beautiful colors in this shot and that background is wonderful as the others have said. I prefer your original post over the edit because the edit has obvious signs of cloning. Congrats on your EP! :~) #10140248Beth Spencer May 17, 2012
