A few more photos from 17 May visit to the Tulip Festival here in Ottawa/Gatineau.

#2 Tulips in Gatineau, Quebec



#3 Tulips in the foreground with the Peace Tower of Canada's Parliament far in the back.



#4 The front of the National Gallery of Canada and our huge mother spider.

Very nice. Number 2 is the one that stands out to me.

For me too, Stu...#2. The last shot of the spider looks like it is floating. Nice one.

Hi Stu I like the composition of #1 with the tulips in the FG very much. IMO the image needs brightening a bit. Lovely colors in #2 and I like the composition. I can see a very slight blue color cast in the image if my eyes are not wrong. I find the 4th image very interesting. Nice series.

Very nice series.

Thanks you Jim. Funny, #2 is the one I had the most difficulty with in post processing as it really doesn't appeal to me. The colours are wonderful but it just doesn't get me passionate. Glad others like it!

Thank you Binnur. I'll try to brighten up #1 to see how that impacts it. I agree that #2 does have a slight blue colour and to be honest I'm not sure how that came about although I did punch up the contrast and saturation because it was a bit dull initially. Again, I think it is my PP that needs the work! Thanks for your observations.
