Description
While walking through the Boston Public Garden, I noticed a lone red tulip amongst a patch of white tulips, directly across a walkway from a patch of red tulips. Somehow one of the red tulips ended up with the white ones. Maybe it liked the white ones better haha. The group of red tulips are in the background, I tried to make it look like the red one was almost looking back at them. Also, the black in the background is a line of very tall bushes blurred to darkness from the depth of field.Back Bay

Thanks for the critique!
I actually made sure the red tulips in the background were there on purpose, I wanted it to kind of look like the red one was looking back at them or something. I also am not a fan of dead center composition, so I offset the tulip on purpose as well. Thanks again!!

wow!
what a clear shot!
I really love it how the red flowers in the back are blurred so you focus on the flowers up front.
You can really see the details on the flowers.
I just love this picture!
it's so clear.You must have a really nice camera, and also,you didn't center the object of the photo which is really good e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The only thing I would suggest is to maybe just fix the blurryness on the white flowers in the front,they are kind of blurry and distract my eyes at least from the true beauty of this photo!
great job and Deff a fave

Thanks so much for a great critique! 
The flowers are blurry in the front because the lens was pretty open and the depth of field was very shallow, not much I can do to change that.

reminiscent of romeo and juliet,
as if the red left its own for the love of the white

Very well done. I love the contrast and sharpness of the white flowers just to the left of the single red one - they seem to pop off the screen because of the way they are lit. Also, the title is very clever and appropriate!
