Photo Story 18

 

 

The top photo is the Raw image taken of this bed of tulips at the Tulip Festival in Holland, MI. The bottom image is the photo after it had been cropped to a 3 to 1 perspective and had adjustments made in Lightroom.  The park where this was taken was packed with people and I had no time to set up the camera before I took the shot. You can see the background behind the tulip bed, even though I tried to have as little background as possible in the shot.  These two images demonstrate that it is possible to transform something hopelessly bad into something stunningly beautiful.
