Combination of two images - both lit from behind with a lightbox.
As you can see, I don't seem to be done experimenting with my tulips yet.

Quote: Well it could touch the border
It would still be cut off straight, then, wouldn't it.
Quote: but it doesn't bother me the way it is
That must be one of the nicest things you've ever said about any of my images, LOL! One of the few things, actually.
Thanks, everyone else, too, for the comments, by the way!
Edit: Oh, wow, and thanks, Pete for the HC! Thought I had lost my touch in 2007, but maybe it's coming back...
I know exactly how you feel. I've done that, too. Telling people they should change something about their image, and along comes Pete and gives it an award! Don't stop, though, Cole - judging from your portfolio, you have every right and reason to make suggestions!
Excellent image, very well thought out and well done on the HC

After all the banter I am afraid to have my say, well.....actually I like it cut off at the bottom before the border that is. The background looks artificial and the flower is an amazing photo which draws me too look at the image a second, third time... anyway that my view and Click

Mirjam, actually, this particular tulip has only appeared on EPZ once before - the previous images (except one) were of other flowers from the same bunch. So I wasn't stingy enough to buy a whole bouquet! And no, a Dutchman being influenced by the Scottish people he mingles with hasn't done it either, just in case anyone would suggest that! 
Marc, no matter what other people (or I myself, for that matter) say about my images, you can always say what you think! Do you mean 'artificial' in a negative way, or as a positive contrast with the natural beauty of the flower? It's just some paper that I photographed on a lightbox.
Quote: said nice things about your tulips before
Just joking, Cheryl. And just encouraging you to make more comments, I suppose.
I'd forgotten about the doggy photo, yes, you're right.
An EC, eh? Serves you right!
Quote: all of this came about because a previous lightbox experiment didn't work out the way I wanted, and then I saw something at Ikea which I thought I could do, or do better, with an adaptation of my previous method.
Not only an artist, an engineer as well !!!! Are there no limits to you accomplishments?
Btw, congrats on your HC. Well deserved.
Quote: Hah you think that's bad I pointed out the stray debris on Cattyal's anemone and it got an EC tonight
Yep,I did it with one of Edgar's & that has an HC too,oh well.....I'll just say I like the combination of the two images,pretty lighting on both & well done
