This red tulip was photographed with a macro lens. The tulip was lit by indoor light with a very soft diffuser. Exposure time was increased considerably to capture its real colors and contrast naturally. The shape of its leaves and the tenderness of its petals are just too splendid to be described in words. Elegant and beautiful! >>>For printed merchandises with my image(s), such as T-shirts, caps, mouse pads, calendars, mugs, and more, please come visit my online store at http://www.cafepress.com/infomages
