Vibrant tulips at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA.

Tulips are abundant at Longwood, and it’s so easy to take the standard shot across the top of a field of their vibrant blooms. But I liked the way their petals seemed to be “reaching” for the sky, so I got down on the ground and shot up, to look at the sky from their point of view.

Mark, I really like this. The POV really gives us an “ant’s viewpoint” of these lovely tulips. Very nice.

Mark, the low view does a fine job of emphasizing the upward sweep of these tulips.

I am enjoying the POV, DOF, and primary colors.

Great angle on the tulips and you picked a wonderful color to do it with against the blue and white of the sky.
