They struggle with it.B Kluverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057896469578827720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35528587.post-9740882051125895192008-01-12T07:20:00.000-08:002008-01-12T07:20:00.000-08:00What a great discovery to have come across you blo...What a great discovery to have come across you blog.

They are really lively looking/full of life.<BR/><BR/>I looked at it in black and white and the only real contrast is the upper right tulip. I think if you put some lighter lights on the three middle tulips that would help. Darkening the background would too, but I think just lighter or more of the light on these three flowers. A real light yellow/white. All the flowers are similar in value. If you get what I mean. <BR/><BR/>I have wanted to try tulips, you inspire me to try.Jo Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411430042547033972noreply@blogger.com
