Not possible, too much clutter in the original.
Thanks for your comment.

A shallower DOF and a bit more headroom would have increased my enjoyment of this image.

great use of DOF, though I would have opened it up a tad more. Good composition, lighting, and color. 7

I like the shot, but the subject is too big. Well framed, nice DOF, good color levels.

I like this, except I think it is a little much for a minimal photo, nice picture tho

Great shot. I've never seen a black tulip before! One suggestion: for me, if there wasn't another black tulip in the background it would have added to the feeling that this was a unique and interesting flower.

Beautiful and sharp. From a minimalist perspective, I think this would have been stronger without the other flowers in the background. Perhaps changing the angle of your shot to isolate the tulip agains the green grass alone might have been a little stronger. Additionally, I wouldn't have put the flower itself so high in the frame since it is the focal point of the image.

The background feels a little busy for a minimalist photo

I think you could improve this shot with 2 easy things. The background is ok but with a differant angle you could get the walkway out.(on second thought you might be to much in the shadows if you move to far left). A polorizer could cut the glare that is giveing you hot spots on the yellow flowers. Still a nice shot. I'm betting this does pretty well.

that is one long tulip stem...maybe fade out the yellow some so tulip stands out more?
