| The flowers are beautiful, the idea excellent, but three things bother me about this picture. (1) The flowers are bunched together. (2)The majority of the flower are on the same level. (3)The lighting on the flowers, although good, could have been better. If you would have taken a few of the flowers out of the vase and placed the remaining ones at varying heights the viewers eye would have moved around the picture more. As it is, the eye follows the line of flowers down and off the page and we miss some of the intricate beauty that you captured. As far as the lighting is concerned, I assume you used available light. If so then it becomes even more important that you thin out the flowers for maximum use of the light. Pleased do not feel this critique is a cut-down of your work. You obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this photo and I,m just trying to make suggestions that might help in the future. JG |

| Very nice composition and nice "fading out" of the scenery outside of the window. |

| I really like how you set this up, with the tulips overlooking the city. The only thing I'm noticing about this shot is that the window(?) is dirty. There are some spots that look like water spots all over. Otherwise, a very nice shot. Angle and framing/cropping are good and the focus is also very nice. Good luck in the challenge. |

| Beautiful tulips. Looks like it might be raining in the city. I would loved to have been able to see the city better in the background, not necessarily much darker, but better in focus. But's it's still a great photo. Worth a 7. PTL |

| Neat picture. I wish I could say I recognize the song title, but I don't. Never fear, I don't score down for my lack of knowledge! The background is nice, but the lack of color compared to the foreground doesn't seem like a good thing to me. The tuplis/foreground is very, very nice. 7 Swash |

| The flowers and the view are lovely, but I wish your window weren't so spotty. Based on your altitude, maybe that was not your choice. |

| Very nice - interesting contrast between the subject and the background. I don't know this song but would really like to know who recorded it and when if possible? Good job : ) |

| Great shot.. The background is a bit too oversaturated having the undesirable effect of underexposing the flowers.. BUT thats just me being nitpicky.. 7 |

| It's a great shot. I would have liked to see the city in focus more, but it looks like it may be through glass on a rainy day, which is cool as well. |

| looks about 85% tulips 15% amsterdam, would like maybe 35% amsterdam, if you're in amsterdam you know there are a lot of pretty things around that show age, i like the brick buildings so old they lean over myself. |

| Great shot. Too bad the window was so dirty, but I guess you could not get to it to clean it. |
