Photographer's Note
Dare To Be Different
A typical spring photo from The Netherlands today, taken in the north of the province of Noord-Holland about a year ago. I spotted this lonely red flower among all the differently coloured tulips in one of the flower fields in this region, used for the cultivation of flower bulbs.

Hello Lars,
Superb close-up on this tulip field with the errant red bloom standing out like a sore thumb. Perfectly exposed with good use made of differential depth of field. Excellent colours and clarity.

Hello Lars, well spotted, taller and a different colour!
Excellent depth of field as you focused on the red tulip and the beautiful deep pink tulips in the fg.
Lovely composition too.
The smooth silky texture of the flowers is very clear.
Regards Jean.

Bonjour Lars,
Elle est vraiment trθs belle cette composition. Tu as su bien voir cette tulipe rebelle au niveau de la couleur et de sa hauteur pour en faire le sujet principal tout en utilisant la masse en arriθre plan.
Bon samedi

Fabulous sight, Lars, Tulips are spring best flower to take photos of in Holland.
An abundance of this beauty, stunning colors, and even with one that looks different.
We do not have tulips grown in Israel, too dry and warm for those.
Charming photo.

Hi Lars,
The blurry background is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the tulips with the red one standing out. The good luminosity is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Lars,
This is a stunning and very amusing photo. How is it possible that one of these more or less machine-made flowers can grow so differently? Or is it actually a different kind of flower grown here by mistake? It's an amazing photo in any case and quite different from anything I've seen before.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dag Lars,
Je hebt deze brutale tulp toch wel meteen na de foto geplukt. dat kunnen we niet hebben, met je kop boven het maaiveld uitsteken. Ik hoop op de volgende foto te zien of het is gelukt.

Hello Lars,
I love the title!
How observant you were to notice this interloper!
You have turned a simple occurrence into a photograph of colour and beauty. The single flower is well exposed, with the surrounding flowers appearing like a curious crowd of onlookers!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Lars,
Just when I thought I had no chance of seeing and photographing any tulips in either Holland or Turkey this year, I discovered a park in Varna in Bulgaria with some tulips. I will check them out in the morning. Good sharpness and vibrant color. Tfs!

Hello Lars,
We should definitely dare to be different. :-) It's tulip time, and nothing is prettier than a frame filled with these colorful flowers. It's great that one of the tulips decided to be unique, and provide you with a nice photo opportunity. I like all the colors very much, and the focus on the foreground is excellent.

Hello Lars,
I see four lovely layers of colors, all contributing to a beautiful frame. I like the shallow DOF that focuses on the lone red tulip.

Hello Lars,
the colours of the tulip field in full bloom are so delicious and the silky textures of the petals are shown so effectively in your picture as well. I like how you filled the frame and interrupted the homogeneous patterns with the red tulip that stands out in the crowd. You placed it excellently and added an interesting observation and message to your delightful, vibrant picture. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hi Lars,
fantastic composition. Very well spotted. Not only is this tulip differently colored but also taller than others so it literally stands out of the crowd. Beautiful and so characteristic for the Netherlands.
Excellent work,

Greetings Lars,
You have solved the problem of what do do with hugely, colourful fields of flowers - of course you want the colours in the shot, but to lift it above a postcard image, one needs a focus and you have achieved that with the single, tall tulip forming the focus of this work. There is a nice, shallow, DoF to help accentuate your focal point. Nice work, Iain.
