Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 23 April 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.
Just up the road from my house a local garden center has created a roadside display of flowers (to get people to drive down the road and buy their flowers). With so many bright colors I had to stop and take a lot of pictures.
"Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the flowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them." Matthew 6:27-29
I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.
Please give me your constructive comments - I do appreciate your input!
I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!
This is beautiful Chris. I love tulips and its so refreshing to see them in such abundance and in such a vivid array of reds and yellows....with the odd white and pink one dotted in between. Nice shot, I am sure that they have increased their sales with this beautiful display! :)

Where did that pink guy come from??? It might be a cool pic with a tighter shot & that pink one in focus.

@fairuz: something wrong?!?!?
This is truly a beautiful field of tulips you've captured Chris. The reds and yellows are striking... it took me a minute to notice that one pink and one white bloom managed to sneak into the mix. I guess quality control at the bulb packing factory was on a coffee break that day. Heh.

@Viewfinder: Thanks VF - well you know that QC in the tulip business isn't what it used to be.... You should have seen me trying to resist the urge to pull out those off color flowers - part of that straightening thing I have.....

I think I prefer this one over the next one. Wow. I wonder how the pink and the white tulips got in.
