yes , i think its beginning to look interesting

more exploratory positioning of the camera  is still desirable

if the dog does not bite,, get over and get down
when i shoot flowers,  i use a shovel to dig a hole in the ground ,for my chin to rest,
so i can look through the camera view lens,
a camera that has a swivel screen may make the
job easier,
of course,  i use photoshop, there are software forums that guide me to downloading
and installing photoshop, and there are book s by scott kelby to help me use photoshop

if you are interested in discussing techniques of photography, i sugest you read
scot kelby's two books
the digital photography book,   volume 1 and 2

you learn more by reading the words of a world class guru
then you can compare the words expressed in this forum and those of scott kelby

hey goldie, the composition is much better, I like the upper one is better coz I think the flower in the lower one occupied the whole area.

You can try shooting in black and white too.

looking at other people 's photo's may give some ideas
search flickr for " tulips"


if you shoot from above, the background does not seem to go well with the flowers
the flowers cannot stand out from the background

if there is no good background a dark background will help the flowers's color stand out
if you have a black flower then ..

shooting 2 flowers


contrast in color


shooting from above,   looks good , only if you cannot see the ground




a nice background  makes a big different on how the flowers look



a black flower ,

*sigh!* all these comments ...
photographers are crazy people.
OK OK, I am trying again ....

this one look good ah..
What I suggest is.. since the flower have been blooming for a while alreay..
Try to take it before sunset. Coz the flower will "close" and the tone will be more romantic

I think you don't need to capture the 'perfect' flower everytime, perfect flower is too 行貨, sometimes 殘花敗柳 can give you a special mood too.

再試過，半夜去影。
平生第一次用自製 snoot (nothing else works)。
但係無黑色紙，用左淺黃色。
snoot 對住黑花，
得到呢個效果。
(呢兩朵怪花，夜晚都唔 "ｃｌｏｓｅ"喎)

haha, 你真係好有誠意，值得嘉許

good for you...clearly can see a yellow cast, partly because of the yellow paper and probably from your flashlight too?  The light is a little too hot.
