Bonjour Manuela, contente que tu sois de retour parmi nous !! J'aime la couleur mauve intense de cette tulipe. Plein de bonheur à toi en ce jour de 1er mai.

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France

un bien joli brin de "muguet" mauve !!!
Je viens de regarder ton "about" pour le matériel, 3 appareils, as tu un objectif macro, pour réaliser telle merveille avec une pdc aussi parfaite ???
Superbe, j'aime la dynamique de la fleur !!
bisous Manuela !

@marianne: Merci Marianne!
Oui, j'ai un objectif macro mais je m'en sers rarement et mon mari l'a pris. Tu vas rire mais j'ai pris cette photo vraiment à la va vite avec mon objectif zoom 75-300mm de mon ancienne camera EOS Canon. J'ai gardé les objectifs de l'EOS et seulement acheté le body du 350D et 400D, voilà :)
Bisous - Manu

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

Beautiful capture! I love the variation of color in the petals. It adds a lot of texture as well. The petals look like they could be made of painted porcelain.

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

Toi aussi tu fais dans le non muguet...Très très belle ta tulipe, nuances et textures, mais qui déborde de mon écran... en effet, en hauteur, c'est 600 (à la rigueur 700) de large et non 800 qu'il faut mettre, sinon, ça fait 1200 de haut, et on n'apprécie pas la photo d'un coup d'oeil...car il faut scroller :))

2 May 2009 5:41pm

@Francesc B.: Merci pour tes suggestions, je vais les essayer... moi j'aime bien scroller parfois cela donne une bonne dynamique aux photos ;)
A bientôt - Manu

Marie from FRESNES, France

les couleurs de la fleur, et du fond, sont très belles.

Celle -ci je ne l'avais pas vue !!!oui là c'est une tulipe tout à fait d'accord, mais la photo d'avant d'avant non.
Tu as du faire une erreur en me répondant, mais ce n'est pas grave. Bon dimanche

3 May 2009 11:51am

Voilà ce qui se passe quand on fait les choses trop vite!
