We managed to get out to Skagit Valley for what is likely the last bloom of the season. I was blown away! My first time at a flower festival of this size. Shot this on a canon r10 with the RF 24-105 f4

That reflection is perfect


sydneys_jpegs

Thank you! :)

Now we just need a yellow tulip to bend down to meet it and we'll have a sick post for r/fakealbumcovers


No_Comparison_2_u

Like a yellow one from the right side meeting? That'd be perfect

We lived in Seattle for almost 15 years before we made it to the Tulip Festival. We had a great time when we finally went. I love this picture because, to me, it tells a story. With the reflection, it’s almost like the flower is looking in a mirror contemplating its life. Maybe it’s a little depressed. Maybe it’s the little flower that’s going to overcome adversity and be the tallest flower. Whatever its story is, I feel like the composition is more compelling than the more cliche row of flowers or a single flower in focus with the surrounding flowers slightly blurred - which is exactly what I did. Ha ha. Great image!!

Ah thank you!! I like to think the tulip is seeing itself for the first time. It’s coming to consciousness. It was super fun to be around a bunch of other photographers and shoot with them. I loved the energy!

Amazing!


Far-Orchid-3090

A fallen tulip, or a misunderstood one reaching for its love?


External-Bluejay-365

I was like "would look better with it standing up so you can see the divide better" until I saw the reflection in the puddle. Just really enhances the viewing experience for me I cant explain why. Great shot.


superhornybeardydude

Updoggin02

I love this! Tulips are my favorite! This photo makes me think of”opposites attract”


CoffeeQueenBean420

It’s pretty and perfect! Perfect amount of sky and sky reflection in the water!


sydneys_jpegs

Thank you so much!! Getting this set up was super fun


SatisfactionNearby57

I would have bent a yellow one for them to meet in the middle, more meaningful


Xpandomatix

Know what's better than roses on a piano?


Embarrassed-List7214

Too much mud in the frame. Just my opinion.


Unsounded

You’re entitled to an opinion! It just might be bad!


Seinfeel

I don’t think there’s too much mud as much as I think I just want this same picture with a slightly larger perspective so that there’s more sky and more everything


CharlemgneBrian

The Tulip is saying Hi to friends from across the isle. Weirdly There is more comradery here that across the political divide.
