So pretty! Great Depth of Field.

So true, Mary.

This is what I think of when I hear the word spring... pansies and tulips.

After looking at this a second time and seeing Mike's comments, I agree that the flower shadow is too dark. I would also lighten the darker areas just a bit in the lower right parts of the tulip. Leave some blacks for depth but selectively lighten some parts. Also, fix the very bright speckles in the lower right and maybe the others that are sprinkled around the background as well just to remove any distractions.

Kathy and Barbara: Thanks for your feedback. I kept moving around trying to isolate the new growth against a dark background created by a gap in the foliage. Even so, in Photoshop I needed to clone out a very distracting leafless branch. I doubt that I would enter this image into competition, but if I did then I would consider adding some foliage around the margins to create more of a frame around the subject.
