The red is almost tamed. The one yellow somehow balances all the rest. -tv

Gorgeous natural looking color. THe only thing I question is the square crop. -Doug

Many thanks to all. We had a longer and more harsh winter than usual, so the tulips are coming out a bit later this year. This past weekend and the next are supposed to be the peak times.

I did not make any adjustments to the white balance or the colors. I think that the only significant PP adjustments were in levels and contrast.

Beautiful tulips Charlie, ours are long gone. :-( The colors are so vibrant and I like that lone yellow one in the midst of all those red ones. CJ

Thanks Brent. It was a beautiful morning, and I managed to get up to the valley before the crowds arrived. When I left for home, the backup going North on I5 was over 5 miles long!

Wow, these look great Charlie. I saw all three images without an owner for a while and thought I would wait to comment. I was thinking they looked like Skagit Valley and suspected they might be yours. Love the glowing colors in this one.
