Tulip #2

The story behind this image

I love tulips, they're my favourite flower!

They have bold, graphic shapes and an endless variety of colours, the petal detail can be exquisite and, when backlit, they can glow with an ethereal beauty.

I'm not going to say anymore - just enjoy the living beauty of these breathtaking flowers!
