As these tulips are being raised to produce healthy bulbs for autumn harvest, the tulip petals are removed as soon as they begin to fade. The stems are then left to help feed the bulb. The result photographically speaking, is a colorful symmetrical spectacle. |

It's all about contrasting colors for this shot. When out shooting any subject, look for the out-of-the-ordinary. |
A breeze can be your ally or enemy in this situation. One just has to make the most of any given situation. |

Talking of breezes, or in this case high winds. I had to use an aperture of around f.8 as f.22 would have given me a much longer shutter speed, and tulips that would have been nothing but a blur. |

A selective focus technique using a long lens. Choose a wide aperture, say f.4 or f5.6, and then shoot 'through' other tulips for the soft look. |

Even though I have intentionally blurred the background with a shallow depth of field using a lens aperture of f.5.6, the sense of symmetry is still strong. |
