Tulips

Going thru and cleaning some stuff up and decide to put out this photo from tulip season out here (April).
The skies were fun at the moment....

Nicely composed, I'm drawn to those guys in the background; are they making shadow puppets?

Lovely image... I would suggest cloning out the guy with the sprayer at upper center of image...

A beautiful image, IMO two people need cloning

I am like John...my eyes were also drawn to the two men up there. But it does not worry me at all. I think they are cute (aka, having fun). Now if you want this shot to be really perfect, remove the men. I will miss them though...

Great shot. The guy with the sprayer has to go in my opinion.
Cheers Ole

Very lovely flowers....the two people, if were towards one side, it would have been OK; being at centre, they need be removed as per my taste

Nice one, Sharon. Great comp and good job taking advantage of the sky. I've shot the tulips several times down there and find that the sky can make or break a shot.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like the consesus is the dudes must go. :-)

Bye dudes ;-). Isn't it fun going back to spring again? I sure like the composition on your shot. Very nice one.

...the dudes must go. :-)

Interesting how language changes with cultures. Farm/ranch workers used to use "dude" as a derogatory reference to wellheeled city folk. Now the farm hands are being called dudes

haha. I did not know that! Better than some of the other names they are now called ;-)

Thank you very much Susan. Do you ever make it up here for the tulip fest? I'd give anything for spring right now, looking out at brown brown skies raining ash . Horrible air today.
