Midnight at the Oasis

Don't ask me why, but I thought of this song when doing this and can't get it out of my head. Time for a lobotomy.
A ton a processing to do tonight, but hope to make the full rounds. I've missed you guys.

Wonderful gradient of light.
And since you have us all humming that song, we might as well sing it:

Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin' our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven's holdin' a half-moon
Shinin' just for us
Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust
Come on, Cactus is our friend
He'll point out the way
Come on, till the evenin' ends
Till the evenin' ends
You don't have to answer
There's no need to speak
I'll be your belly dancer, prancer
And you can be my sheik

Across the borad this is a great flower shot. The bold color, the perfect depth of field, the slight vignetting and the beauty of the flower itself. Very nice Karen. GMV.

I like the game of light and shadow, with the shadows having the same colors as the dark parts of the tulips. Nice sharp details as well. Voted.
