Very, very pretty...looks like it has a hair on it though, I would have cloned that out :o)

The exposure is perfect. Nice detail. I just wish there was a way to make this flower a little more dynamic in its composition.

Beautifully exposed & rendered. I'd quibble with your choice of composition, but the bud itself is marvelous.

Gary,

To my eye, the flower and stem need to be at a different angle. It's too close to horizontal for my liking. Also, do some healing brush work on the dust fibers and possibly burn the left end to kill some of the highlights. Just my opinion though.

Gary, the tulip is beautifully exposed with good colour but I cannot help but feel the black background detracts a bit from the flower. I have tried to imagine this with a white background and I think a lighter background would enhance the tulip more. Just my opinion.
