I was out in my garden this morning taking pictures and I thought
that I would share a few of them with the group. The next ten
pictures are of some of the tulips in my garden this year.

I've only rarely managed to produce anything *nearly* approaching the
quality of shots that you've presented here... but I always try to put a
personal mark on them.

Sure, my "personal mark" on floral shots is often an overtly sexual one -
because that's what flowers are for, biologically (case in point attached) -
but it's a matter of "my own style" rather than than of simple prurience.

As beautiful as the tulips are - and yours *are* exceptional photos of
them - there's no really personal touch that I can see: they'd be fabulous
catalogue shots, but there's no "Bill" there AFAICT.
